A total of 157 resident-proposed projects were selected this time. The city plans to reflect a budget of about 4 billion KRW for these projects in next year's budget.

Among the selected projects, 125 projects (1.9 billion KRW) are local projects that went through township and neighborhood resident general meetings and discussions, while 32 projects under the jurisdiction of the city hall, selected through sectoral meetings and cooperative governance meetings, amount to about 2.1 billion KRW.

The projects finally selected by the Resident Participation Budget Committee will be included in next year’s main budget, finalized after the city council’s budget review, and will be disclosed through Pyeongtaek City’s official website.

Jung Jang-seon, Mayor of Pyeongtaek, said, "We will strive to achieve regional development that meets citizens’ expectations by reflecting and realizing projects directly proposed by citizens in the budget."

Meanwhile, Pyeongtaek City is promoting initiatives such as ▲ on-site proposal discovery consulting ▲ resident participation budget school ▲ support group review consulting to operate the resident participation budget system efficiently.
