Anseong City announced on the 10th that it received the Grand Prize from the Council of Excellent Local Governments at the "2025 Excellent Local Autonomy Policy Conference" held at Sarangjae in the National Assembly on the 7th.

A total of 48 local governments participated in the event, which was organized by the Council of Excellent Local Governments, to share the achievements of outstanding policies.

At the event, Mayor Bora Kim of Anseong City personally introduced the "New Nighttime Economic Revitalization Project," titled "How About Anseong Night Market Tonight?" This project was designed to revitalize the local commercial district, which had been weakened by the summer heat wave, and to expand cultural opportunities for citizens. By extending the operating hours of public facilities during nighttime and weekends, providing nighttime consumption cashback and coupons, and offering restaurant discounts, the city succeeded in increasing the floating population and promoting local consumption.

The city explained that, through this project, more than 81,000 citizens enjoyed cultural activities throughout the region, and local currency sales more than doubled compared to the previous year.

The city plans to continue working with citizens, local merchants, and the broader community to promote vibrant nighttime cultural activities and inject new energy into the stagnant local commercial district through a variety of initiatives.
