The 'innovation district regeneration project' is a large-scale initiative to develop a knowledge industry center, multi-family housing, and a complex transfer center on a 15,132㎡ site in Wachon-dong by 2026.

In addition, the area was selected for the 'hub-type smart city development project' competition, securing 16 billion KRW in national funding. The 'startup park' development project will invest 83.3 billion KRW to create a 'Green Startup Town' centered around Cheonan Station, operated with renewable energy.
