Hwaseong-si Holds Compensation Council Meeting for Eocheon District

"LH-Residents Continuous Communication to Minimize Differences"

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 16th that it held the 2nd Compensation Council meeting for the Hwaseong Eocheon Public Housing District at the Maesong-myeon Administrative Welfare Center on the 15th.

The Hwaseong Eocheon Public Housing District is a project to build a total of 4,138 housing units, including 3,995 apartments and 143 detached houses, on approximately 743,783㎡ in the Eocheon, Suggok, and Yamok-ri areas of Maesong-myeon, Hwaseong. The public housing district designation and district plan approval were announced in December 2018. Notably, Eocheon Station, a transfer station for the Suin Line and the planned Incheon-origin KTX, will be located in the center of the district, making it an area with high development pressure.

Hosted by Hwaseong City, this council meeting was arranged to actively discuss residents' detailed demands following the 1st Compensation Council held in September. During the meeting, discussions were held on ▲ reflecting market prices at the time of compensation negotiations ▲ incorporating price increase factors such as direct KTX connection ▲ reflecting compensation cases from nearby public projects ▲ requesting re-investigation of omitted land and item surveys.

The city plans to continue ongoing communication through the council to minimize disagreements between local residents and the project implementer, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), regarding future compensation.

Oh Hong-seon, Vice Chairman of the council and Director of Hwaseong City Regional Development Project Office, stated, "Continuous discussions are necessary to ensure fair compensation within the legal framework," adding, "I hope the council becomes a place where residents' difficulties are sincerely heard and appropriate measures can be established."

Meanwhile, at the 1st Compensation Council, matters necessary for council operation such as ▲ appointment of council members ▲ resolution of operating regulations ▲ hearing opinions on the compensation plan were decided and related information was shared.
