[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Pocheon City, Gyeonggi Province, is reviewing the progress of this year's priority projects and has decided to focus all efforts on projects to be completed by the end of this year, including those related to Subway Line 7.

On the 12th, at the '2021 Priority Project Progress Report Meeting' held in the city hall's large conference room with Mayor Park Yoon-guk and senior officials in attendance, the progress of 58 projects selected at the beginning of the year was reviewed, and future strategies were discussed.

Among this year's priority projects, Subway Line 7, which was officially announced last July, was reclassified from an urban railway to a metropolitan railway, resulting in an estimated saving of about 170 billion KRW in the city budget and providing momentum for the development of the station area.

Additionally, Baegun Valley has been developed into a resting space through the removal of illegal facilities and maintenance projects, and facilities such as the Senior Citizens' Hall, Intangible Cultural Heritage Transmission Education Center, and Youth Travel Warehouse have been completed and are about to begin operation.

Projects including the Cheonggye Reservoir Waterfront Park creation, road expansion and paving from Igok to City Road No. 26, construction of the Pocheon Public Postpartum Care Center, and the Hantan River Ecological Landscape Complex are being promoted with the goal of completion by the end of this year.

Medium- and long-term projects such as the Suwonsan Tunnel installation, Sanjeong Lake refresh development, K-Livestock Quarantine Center, and urban regeneration are also being advanced step by step.

Mayor Park Yoon-guk of Pocheon City urged, "I ask all public officials, including senior officials, to devote their efforts to COVID-19 prevention, revitalization of the local economy, and the promotion of priority projects."
