The "Communication Meetings with Dong (Neighborhood) Residents," which Mayor Lee has held annually since taking office to listen to local residents' concerns and discuss key city policies, marked its third year this year. Since July, Mayor Lee has been touring all 35 neighborhoods in Goyang City, continuing his efforts to communicate with residents.

At this meeting, various proposals were received, including ▲ resolving livestock odor issues ▲ constructing a new government building in Gajwa-dong ▲ promoting the separated sewer pipeline project in the area of 766 Jichuk-dong ▲ installing bus stop shelters around Ogeum-dong ▲ reducing sidewalks in the areas of 25-16 and 25-2 Samsong-dong ▲ renovating sports facilities at the Ogeumcheon detention basin ▲ developing tourism products through the restoration of the traditional culture village in Goyang-dong ▲ improving the environment of the Baengma-ro bicycle path ▲ and installing new rainwater inlets in Gangchon Park.

Mayor Lee Dong-hwan stated that for projects requiring significant budgets, such as installing bus stop shelters, priority will be given to the most urgent locations and will be implemented gradually. He also promised to thoroughly review all issues raised during the meetings and ensure they are fully reflected in city administration.

Meanwhile, some residents requested that the city share the progress of the economic free zone designation project, which is being actively promoted.

Mayor Lee said, "Since taking office, I have worked tirelessly both domestically and internationally, and as a result, Goyang has been selected as the first candidate site for an economic free zone in northern Gyeonggi. We are currently preparing the final application for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. Since we have been pursuing this with utmost determination, I expect good results, and I hope residents will take an interest and watch closely until the end."

Goyang Special City plans to visit the remaining nine neighborhoods, including Neunggok-dong, by the end of this month.
