'Decentralization of Administrative Tasks' Incheon Songdo, Special Autonomous District Promotion... Assemblyman Jeong Il-young Proposes Bill

Jeong Il-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea representing Incheon Yeonsu-eul, officially proposed related legislation for the establishment of the Songdo Special Autonomous District in Incheon on the 5th.

The bills proposed by Representative Jeong include the enactment of the "Act on the Establishment of Songdo-gu, Incheon" and partial amendments to the "Local Autonomy Act." These bills contain provisions to separate Songdo-dong from the jurisdiction of Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, and establish it as a separate special autonomous district.

Songdo International City currently has its administrative and project-related institutions dispersed among Incheon City, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority, and Yeonsu District Office, leading residents to demand the creation of a special autonomous district to unify administrative tasks.

Representative Jeong expects that if the bill passes, the inefficient administrative system will be improved, accelerating urban development such as fostering advanced industries like bio and health concentrated in Songdo, large-scale national projects, and urban development.

Jeong said, "The establishment of the Songdo Special Autonomous District is not merely a simple division due to population growth but is aimed at urban development and securing the nation's future competitiveness. I will make sure to pass the bill to resolve the issue of undeveloped land in Songdo and enhance the regional value."
