Competition for 17 cities and counties in the north and eastern regions of Gyeonggi… Announcement of the selection targets before around May

Governor Lee Jae-myeong held a press conference at the Gyeonggi Province on that day and announced plans for the third relocation of public institutions in Gyeonggi Province.

Governor Lee said, “The reason for the slow development of the Gyeonggibuk-do area was that there were restrictions on regional development for a long period of time due to overlapping regulations such as the Metropolitan Area Improvement Plan Act, military security, and water resource management.” “If you are doing it, we believe that giving the right compensation for it is in line with the value of fairness, and this is the way for balanced development.”

Governor Lee continued, “The decision to relocate public institutions twice was also part of such an effort.” Revealed the background.

This is the third time that Gyeonggi-do has moved to public institutions. Earlier, Gyeonggi-do signed a business agreement with Goyang City in December 2019, and decided to move three public institutions, including Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, and Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Agency, to the’Goyang Tourism and Cultural Complex’ by 2025.

In September of last year, the main offices of five public institutions, including Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation, Gyeonggi Job Foundation, Gyeonggi Mayor Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Environmental Energy Promotion Agency, and Gyeonggi Social Service Agency, were selected through a city and county competition. Yangju City, Dongducheon City, Yangpyeong County, Gimpo City And Yeoju, respectively.

Third, the number of workers in the seven organizations that will be relocated is about 1,100 in total, which is similar to the total number of workers in the previous 1st and 2nd relocation organizations. The target areas for relocation will be selected through competition among 17 cities and counties excluding overlapping areas among the border areas and nature conservation areas in the north and east of Gyeonggi Province. Starting this month, a public offering plan will be established to promote a public offering for each institution, and after a review in April, the city/county for the previous selection will be announced around May.

Gyeonggi Province plans to form a review committee with external experts so that the review can be conducted fairly and transparently, and select the relocation area by comprehensively considering balanced development, business relevance, accessibility, and provincial cooperation. In order to prevent overheated competition between cities and counties and to avoid disadvantages due to differences in financial size, the financial burden of cities and counties was excluded from the screening criteria.

Governor Lee Jae-myeong drew a line saying, “(Promotion of relocation of public institutions) has nothing to do with the northern part of Gyeonggi Province.” The Gyeonggi bundo theory argues that Gyeonggi-do is divided into 10 cities and counties in the north and 21 cities and counties in the south, with the center of Seoul in the north of Gyeonggi Province and South Gyeonggi Province. As the geographic specificity that the northern part of Gyeonggi is bordered by various regulations such as the Military Facility Protection Act and other regulations, the gap with the southern part of Gyeonggi is widened, so that a branch is needed for balanced development of the region.

Regarding this, Governor Lee Jae-myeong said, “Judged from the standpoint of the region in the north and south of Gyeonggi-do, the north becomes worse if the division is made (to the north and south of Gyeonggi). This is big,” he explained. Governor Lee said, “If the division is done, it may be advantageous for public officials to increase jobs and for public officials to be promoted, but it is not desirable at this stage because the situation is worse for residents.”

Governor Lee said, “The reason why the northern Gyeonggi region does not develop is that the border region is the most severe military regulation, and there are dual regulations such as regulations on the maintenance of the metropolitan area.” It’s hard to overcome,” he said. He continued, “We need to resolve the overlapping regulation, but it will not be solved by splitting it up,” he said. “Rather, the northern part of Gyeonggi Province is financially deteriorating. We are constantly advocating to the government about necessary and feasible deregulation to resolve the overlapping regulation.” Said.

Governor Lee Jae-myeong also asked for understanding for the inconvenience that employees working in public institutions would experience due to the relocation of the institution. Governor Lee said, “The commute of public institutions can be a problem, but because we are trying to provide economic help to the region, we do not commute, but relocate.” In case, we decided to support moving expenses or housing expenses.”

Governor Lee continued, “Employees residing in the institution may feel very uncomfortable and unfair.” “Public institutions exist for public purposes. According to the purpose of the relocation of public institutions, we relocated to the region to rebuild the foundation of life. I asked.
