Anseong Mayor Kim Bora: "Actively Responding to Local Residents' Damage Due to Development in Adjacent Municipalities"

Concerns Over Potential Damage From Yongin Semiconductor Transmission Lines
and Pyeongtaek Comprehensive Funeral Facility

Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province has announced an active response policy to prevent resident damage caused by development projects in neighboring local governments.

On the 28th, at the plenary session of the city council's extraordinary meeting, Anseong Mayor Kim Bora stated, "We have done our best so far to ensure that development projects in nearby cities do not adversely affect regional development and citizen happiness," adding, "We will continue to actively respond to various issues that undermine the city's sustainable development."

In Anseong, concerns have been raised by local residents and civic groups about potential damage to residents caused by major development projects underway in Yongin and Pyeongtaek. In Yongin, the 'Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor Cluster National Industrial Complex' in Idong and Namsa, and the 'Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex' in Wonsam are either under construction or planned. In Pyeongtaek, a comprehensive funeral facility project is underway.

The city is concerned that the construction of three power transmission lines, which are being promoted to supply electricity to the large-scale semiconductor industrial complex being established in Yongin, may cause residents to suffer from electromagnetic wave exposure, aesthetic degradation, and land price decline. They also claim that Eunsan 1-ri in Jinwi-myeon, selected by Pyeongtaek City as a candidate site for the comprehensive funeral facility, is only about 700 meters away from Sanha-ri in Wongok-myeon, Anseong City, raising concerns about resident damage.

The city is demanding that the project stakeholders communicate sufficiently with Anseong residents and prepare measures to prevent damage to the residents in the Anseong area.
