From March to June, the county accepted candidate site recommendations so that anyone could propose suitable locations, resulting in a total of 18 candidate sites being submitted. In addition, the county reviewed 18 candidate sites, and when including overlapping and excluded sites, there are a total of 36 candidate locations.

The criteria for the sites reviewed by the county were as follows: sites mainly consisting of national or military-owned land; locations that meet the required project scale and can be easily expanded; areas near highway interchanges, national roads, or local roads where access roads can be easily established; sites with sufficient distance from densely populated residential areas; and locations with minimal potential for civil complaints.

This 2nd committee meeting was organized to explain the locations and gather opinions on all 36 candidate sites, and it was the first committee meeting held since the candidate site recommendations were submitted.

The county plans to continue holding monthly committee meetings to analyze the suitability of the candidate sites. In addition, from September to November, a feasibility study will be conducted to carry out a professional technical analysis, and in early December, when the study is completed, five out of the 36 locations will be selected as the first-round candidate sites.

During the meeting, the timing of the public release of the candidate sites was also discussed, and it was decided that the information would be released after the final five candidate sites are selected.

Governor Jeon Jinseon of Yangpyeong County said, "I ask for the active cooperation of Chairperson Kim Sookyoung and all committee members so that we can resolve the longstanding inconvenience of our residents and build a comprehensive funeral facility for Yangpyeong County's dignified future in a timely manner."
