On this day, Chuncheon City convened the first session of the "Chuncheon Hosu Regional Garden Development Project Compensation Council" in the medium-sized conference room at the city council annex, where committee member appointments and future operational plans were discussed.

The compensation target for this project covers three parcels totaling 6,119 square meters. To ensure a fair compensation process, the city plans to conduct appraisals through two appraisal firms, each recommended by Chuncheon City and the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province.

During the meeting, participants gathered preliminary opinions for compensation amount evaluation, discussed the forthcoming appraisal schedule, and reviewed the operational direction of the Compensation Council. The city plans to conduct appraisals later this month, begin individual compensation negotiations in June, and complete the compensation process within this year.

The Hosu Regional Garden will be developed on an approximately 180,000-square-meter site in the Sangjungdo area. The core objective is to create an eco-friendly garden that harmoniously integrates forest, water, landscape, and wetlands, while preserving the water resources of Uiam Lake and the ecological environment of Sangjungdo to the greatest extent possible. The total project cost is KRW 15.4 billion, with completion targeted for 2027.

Kim Yuncheol, Director of the Construction Bureau, stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure a fair and transparent compensation process that fully protects the rights and interests of landowners and allows the project to proceed smoothly."
