Ministry of Economy and Finance Promotes Use of National Land with Local Governments... "Utilizing Space for Citizens"

The Ministry of Economy and Finance is promoting a project to utilize state-owned land as spaces for citizens in collaboration with local governments.

On the 13th, the Ministry of Economy and Finance held the 2nd National and Local Government State-Owned Property Utilization Council at the Seoul Bankers' Hall, chaired by Lim Gi-geun, Director of Fiscal Management, to discuss cooperative utilization tasks of state-owned land between the national and local governments. Officials from 12 metropolitan local governments and 4 basic local governments attended the meeting.

The government selected 103 projects proposed by local governments as priority management targets and decided to proceed with the sale or lease of state-owned land related to 55 of these projects by the end of the year. For the remaining 48 projects, detailed support plans will be reviewed through procedures such as consultations with relevant ministries.

The issue of "mutual occupancy," where the owner and user of national and public property do not coincide, causing inconvenience in utilization, will be completely resolved by 2025. The government expects that by organizing property ownership, remodeling and reconstruction will become possible, thereby increasing the utilization of national and public properties.

At the meeting, each local government explained current issues such as using idle state-owned land in front of the Government Complex Gwacheon as citizen spaces until development, and Sokcho City's application for the sale of idle state-owned land for the construction of a sports park. The Ministry of Economy and Finance agreed to actively cooperate on these matters.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance plans to cooperate with local governments and promote necessary institutional improvements to ensure that state-owned properties are utilized appropriately in each region.
