'885 Billion Won Scale' Incheon Michuhol-gu New Government Building Passes Central Investment Deliberation... Completion by 2030

The construction project for the new Incheon Michuhol-gu government building has gained momentum after passing the government review.

Michuhol-gu announced on the 22nd that the new government building project, which was submitted for review in July, has passed the Central Investment Review by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. After the project was rejected in the 2nd Central Investment Review, the district supplemented some parts and successfully passed the 3rd Central Investment Review.

As a result of the review, the construction budget was set at 88.5 billion KRW, and the building size was determined to be within a total floor area of 21,515㎡. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety stipulated that a second-stage review of the total project cost and scale must be conducted after the detailed design of the new government building.

Michuhol-gu plans to start construction of the new government building in 2026 and aims to complete it by 2030. The new building will be constructed on the current government office site, with new buildings for the district office and district council, while existing community facilities such as the playground and futsal field will be relocated to other areas within the site.

Michuhol-gu has been using the buildings of Gyeongin National University of Education and Gyeongin Attached Elementary School, built in 1958 and 1969 respectively, as the district office since 1991. However, due to aging structures, the buildings received the lowest grade, 'E grade,' in a detailed safety inspection, raising ongoing safety concerns.

Additionally, the office space is cramped and spread across six separate buildings, causing inconvenience to residents and reducing work efficiency, among other issues.

A Michuhol-gu official stated, "Since the necessity and feasibility reviews for the new government building have been completed, we will focus on securing the project budget and proceed with a design competition."
