Province Selected for 'Parking Environment Improvement Project' Contest
19.6 Billion Invested for Completion in Early 2026

A tower-type public parking lot with a capacity of 200 vehicles will be constructed in Gwango-dong, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Accordingly, the city plans to invest a budget of 19.6 billion KRW, including 1 billion KRW from the provincial government and 18.6 billion KRW from the city budget secured through the project selection, to build a public parking tower with a capacity of 200 vehicles. Completion is scheduled for the first half of 2026.

The area around the planned parking lot site is suffering from illegal nighttime parking due to a lack of parking spaces. The city expects that once the parking lot construction is completed, parking inconveniences for nearby residents as well as citizens using Gwango Market and the Local Complex Win-Win Center will be resolved.

Meanwhile, the city is promoting the revision of the 'Icheon-si Parking Lot Installation and Management Ordinance,' focusing on zone adjustment and improvement of the fee system to activate parking use by local residents. In addition, related legislation is being prepared to promote free opening of parking lots.

Kim Kyung-hee, mayor of Icheon City, said, "We are comprehensively and step-by-step promoting the construction of public parking lots, which is the top priority task to enhance citizen convenience," and added, "We ask for the active cooperation of all citizens."
