Yongin Special City announced on April 1 that it held the opening ceremony for the new Boradong Administrative Welfare Center building on March 31 at 48 Hanbora 1-ro, Giheung-gu, with over 200 people in attendance, including Mayor Lee Sangil and local residents.

More than 200 people, including Mayor Lee and citizens, gathered at the opening ceremony to celebrate the completion of the new building.

Boradong was separated from Sanggal-dong in January 2020 in response to increasing administrative demand due to population growth.

The city began construction of the new center in February 2020, completed the Boradong Administrative Welfare Center in December 2025, and launched full-scale operations beginning in March.

The Boradong Administrative Welfare Center consists of one basement level and three above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 4,570 square meters. The first floor houses spaces for administrative services, including a civil service office and a welfare counseling room.

The second floor features lecture rooms for the Residents' Self-Governing Center, an open library, and a multipurpose room, while the third floor includes an auditorium and a fitness center.

The city plans to provide lifestyle-focused administrative services in a systematic and comfortable environment by creating a complex administrative space equipped with a variety of convenient facilities for citizens.
