Kim Bora, candidate for Anseong Mayor (Democratic Manju Party), reaffirmed her determination to win by announcing a large-scale living zone development pledge to cultivate Gongo-eup as the core central city of the western Anseong area. Since Gongo-eup is the fastest-growing region in Anseong, her plan is to both ensure the continuity of existing projects and actively advance major initiatives spanning transportation, housing, education, childcare, sports, and administration.

The core of Kim’s vision for completing the Gongo living zone is the creation of a “luxury residential complex covering 1 million square meters.” She elaborated, “Our aim is not merely to supply apartment buildings, but to develop a future-oriented living zone that integrates housing, education, parks and green spaces, transportation, and daily convenience.” She added, “The plan will connect waterfront resources such as Seungducheon and link existing urban areas with new development zones through systematic urban development.”

Additionally, as a long-term development task, Kim pledged to work toward lifting the water source protection regulations for the Yucheon water intake facility and, after the regulations are eased, to establish a ‘master plan to foster a future growth hub’ that comprehensively integrates residential, transportation, green, and commercial functions in order to prevent haphazard development.

Significant pledges were also included in the areas of transportation and education. To ease traffic congestion during rush hour and improve access to the Seoul metropolitan area, Kim committed to: ▲ pursuing the establishment of a new Gongo Interchange (IC), ▲ improving the traffic system around the Anseong IC, and ▲ expanding Provincial Road No. 302 to four lanes. In particular, she plans to significantly increase the number of metropolitan buses during peak times to dramatically reduce the inconvenience for residents using public transportation.

The education and childcare environment will also be greatly enhanced. By establishing “Gongo High School,” a long-standing wish of local residents, Kim aims to reduce the burden of long-distance commuting for students. For young parents, she will create the “AI Kids Care Center,” a next-generation childcare infrastructure. The AI Kids Care Center will be a customized support facility offering children’s developmental analysis, emotional support, and parental counseling.

The acceleration of building lifestyle-oriented infrastructure that improves residents’ quality of life is also a priority. The city will expedite the early completion of the West Anseong Sports Park, create the Seungducheon riverside park and urban wind path forest, and install vertical gardens near Anseong IC, thereby greatly expanding green and rest spaces within the city.

In response to the steep population growth and increasing administrative demand in Gongo-eup, Kim also plans to upgrade the administrative organization of Gongo-eup, reforming the structure so that residents can access administrative services more quickly and conveniently.

During her previous term, Kim successfully led more than 30 key projects in Gongo-eup—including the construction of integrated elementary and middle schools and multi-purpose facilities, the establishment of the Gongo Citizen Center, operation of the “Hello Bus” integrated student shuttle service, operation of the Daerim Hill welfare facility for people with disabilities, and the opening of the Gongdo Jinsa Road—earning high trust from residents.

Candidate Kim Bora stated, “The growth of Gongo-eup is already underway. I will make transportation more convenient, strengthen education and childcare, and create a more pleasant living environment, transforming Gongo-eup into the central city of the western region.”

She added, “In the 9th popularly elected administration, we will steadily complete pivotal projects that citizens can truly feel, building on the foundation laid by previous initiatives.”
