The Seobu Truck Terminal held its groundbreaking ceremony last November for the first time in nine years, marking the start of full-scale development. Although it is a key transportation hub connecting Guro-gu in Seoul and Bucheon-si in Gyeonggi Province, delays in development have long been cited as a factor hindering the area's growth.

Candidate Lee stated, "The development of the Seobu Truck Terminal marks the starting point for transforming the urban structure to simultaneously create businesses and jobs." He added, "We will turn an area previously seen as an undesirable facility into a new asset for the region and redevelop it into the leading economic center of southwestern Seoul." He continued, "Through an ultra-modern, integrated complex that organically combines residential, business, retail, and logistics functions, we will establish a city infrastructure with self-sufficient capabilities."

Regarding the Sinjeong Sports Center, to be built on land contributed for public use, Lee explained that new facilities such as a swimming pool, bowling alley, and table tennis hall will be added to provide cultural and sports services to residents of the Sinjeong and Sinwol areas. The design for the Sinjeong Sports Center has already been completed.

Lee further commented, "For a city to be self-sufficient, business activity is essential," and added, "To secure infrastructure for business operations, the development of the Seobu Truck Terminal is scheduled for completion by 2031. Only someone who has already succeeded can ensure that the ongoing development will be completed without interruption."
