Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun: "We Will Continuously Innovate and Keep Moving Forward Without Rest This Year"

Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun is delivering a New Year's address on the 2nd.

Lee Jae-jun, Mayor of Suwon City, emphasized that he will continue to innovate tirelessly and run without rest this year as well for "a better city, a better change in citizens' lives."

At the '2024 Suwon Special City Opening Ceremony' held on the 2nd at the city hall auditorium, Mayor Lee stated, "If 2023 was the year to lay the foundation for the 8th elected term and start new policies, 2024 will be the year to create changes that improve citizens' lives."

He then presented four directions: ▲ economic growth that citizens can feel ▲ the 3 Major Alley New Deals ▲ urban innovation ▲ establishing a world-class cultural capital.

Accordingly, Suwon City will first promote policies for economic growth that citizens can experience, such as forming the 258.8 billion KRW 'Suwon Enterprise Saebit Fund,' investing 300 billion KRW in the Suwon City Small and Medium Enterprise Support Project, and hiring 3,000 Suwon citizens at the complex cultural space 'Starfield.'

Also, as part of the 3 Major Alley New Deal projects, the 'Suwon Saebit Care' will be expanded to all 44 neighborhoods (dong), and projects such as the Saebit House home repair project and the creation of Palm Gardens will be carried out.

Mayor Lee explained, "The one-minute city for everyone begins," adding, "Life SOC such as Palm Garden cultural spaces will be created in alleys in front of homes, and Saebit Integrated Care and Saebit House home repair services will be provided."

Suwon City will also promote projects such as advancing the Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival to the next level, establishing a status as a sports-centered city, and realizing 'Anyone a Teacher, Anytime a School' as part of the policy to establish a world-class cultural capital.

Mayor Lee promised, "Although the conditions surrounding us in the new year are not easy, we will create new innovations through a change in mindset that turns crises into opportunities," and "We will lay the stepping stones for sustainable growth and create a better tomorrow than today."

Mayor Lee began his New Year's schedule by meeting citizens commuting by city bus in the morning.
