This groundbreaking ceremony marks a historic starting point, as the Geumgok-dong Administrative Welfare Center, completed in 1994, and the Geumgok Police Substation, completed in 1996, will be reborn as a single complex building after more than 30 years. The event was celebrated together with local residents. Lim Jongcheol, Deputy Mayor of Seongnam City, city council members, and local residents attended the event, delivering congratulatory remarks and participating in the groundbreaking performance.

The Geumgok-dong Complex Building, scheduled for completion in March 2028, will be constructed as a three-story building above ground with three basement levels. It will house both the Geumgok-dong Administrative Welfare Center and the Geumgok Police Substation, providing integrated administrative, welfare, and public safety services. With these two institutions, previously operated separately, now offering integrated services in a single space, convenience for residents and administrative efficiency are expected to improve significantly. Additionally, with the inclusion of public safety functions, a one-stop service system encompassing administration, welfare, and public safety will be established.

The complex building is designed to go beyond a simple government office, serving as a resident-centered, community-oriented space. The facility will also expand the operation of cultural and welfare programs utilizing its spacious multipurpose areas.

Lim Jongcheol, Deputy Mayor of Seongnam City, stated, "The Geumgok-dong Complex Building is a meaningful project in which the administrative welfare center and police substation, which have served the community for over 30 years, will take a leap forward into a new era of public services. As local residents have waited a long time for this project, we will ensure the building is completed with safety and dignity, making the future of Geumgok-dong even brighter."
