Gangwon Province has focused all its efforts on building the new government office and creating the administrative complex town to meet the aspirations of its residents and establish a foundation for future growth.

However, on September 10, as the Gangwon Provincial Council was reviewing investments and contributions for the project, Chuncheon City officially notified its rejection of the project proposal, making it inevitable that the project will face significant setbacks.

According to Gangwon Province and Gangwon Development Corporation, they have done their utmost to accommodate Chuncheon City's requests for revisions, but the city's hasty rejection of the proposal is seen as a clear indication of its unwillingness to cooperate.

An official from Gangwon Province stated, "This action by Chuncheon City is an irresponsible move that betrays the trust of our residents," emphasizing that "the damage caused by project delays could spread throughout Gangwon Province."

Gangwon Province has announced that it will comprehensively consider countermeasures in response to this situation. As this key project, which is crucial for meeting the expectations of residents and regional development, faces the risk of collapse, it appears that further negotiations and political solutions between the two sides are urgently needed.
