Yongin City Hall

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province applied to the government for 17.2 billion KRW in special grants for 21 projects in the first half of this year.

Special grants are funds provided by the government to local governments to address unexpected regional issues, projects, or disaster problems.

With the requested funds, Yongin City plans to promote ▲ expansion of Suji-gu Public Health Center (4.3 billion KRW) ▲ creation of Yongin Sports Climbing Center (1.9 billion KRW) ▲ development of Gogi Neighborhood Park Lawn Plaza (1 billion KRW) ▲ construction of a trail around Idong Reservoir (1 billion KRW) ▲ expansion of Namsa Citizen Baseball Stadium facilities (900 million KRW) ▲ maintenance and lighting replacement of auxiliary facilities at Giheung Respia Football Stadium (700 million KRW) ▲ road traffic environment improvement at Guseong Middle and High Schools (700 million KRW) ▲ replacement of deck stairs on Seokseongsan Mountain hiking trail (700 million KRW) ▲ installation of pedestrian bridge over Jinwicheon Stream in Namsa-eup (600 million KRW) ▲ expansion of right-turn lane at Pogok Sinwon Apartment intersection (500 million KRW) ▲ dredging work at Dongbaek Lake Park (500 million KRW) ▲ creation of resting spaces at Daejisan Neighborhood Park (400 million KRW), among others.

If the city receives support through the special grants, it can reduce its own budget expenditure accordingly, allowing additional resources to be allocated to other projects. In particular, it helps enhance administrative trust by addressing urgent citizen demands.

The city has committed to actively working to ensure that the Ministry of the Interior and Safety provides special grant support for these projects.

Mayor Lee Sang-il of Yongin stated, "Not only will we apply for special grants this time, but we will also actively respond to central government ministry public contests to promote projects that benefit citizens' lives," adding, "We will do our best to secure national and provincial funding so that these projects can proceed smoothly."

Earlier last month, Mayor Lee met with a senior official from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to explain the necessity of several projects, including the expansion of Suji-gu Public Health Center, and requested support for the special grants.
