The feasibility study is a necessary administrative procedure to establish the city budget in accordance with the Local Finance Act. Through this investigation, LIMAC comprehensively reviews the project feasibility and local financial conditions. The investigation results will be used as basic data for future investment reviews.

During the on-site investigation, the LIMAC research team examined the current status of Byeongjeom Station and confirmed the results of previous administrative procedure reviews such as feasibility verification. The city explained that considering the importance of the project during the investigation process, it requested LIMAC to expedite the review work.

Earlier, at the final report meeting of the 'Feasibility Verification Service' held by the Korea Rail Network Authority in August, this project was reported as feasible.

Jung Myung-geun, mayor of Hwaseong City, said, "The GTX-C project is a key railway project that will dramatically improve accessibility to Seoul," adding, "We will strengthen cooperation with related local governments and collaborate with central government ministries such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to do our best to ensure that the extension line opens simultaneously with the main line."
