The city reviewed the technical proposals presented by the Kumho Construction Co., Ltd. consortium to decide on adoption, plans to sign the contract in early September, and aims to commence construction by November.

Following this, the construction will be carried out over two years, with the new city hall expected to be completed by the end of 2025, after which office relocation will be completed.

(fire protection), with only contracts remaining to be signed.
