On the 26th, Yongin Special City (Mayor Lee Sang-il) announced that two public property management plans—the Mohyeon-eup Residents' Self-Governing Center expansion project and the donation of recreational sports facilities in the Namsa Jeongung District—were both approved as originally proposed during the second plenary session of the Yongin City Council held on the 24th.

The Mohyeon-eup Residents' Self-Governing Center expansion project involves relocating the existing residents' self-governing center, which currently shares space within the administrative welfare center, to a dedicated facility. The city plans to invest approximately 9.9 billion won in total project costs to construct a building with a total floor area of 1,542 square meters—comprised of one basement level and three above-ground floors.

The new residents' center will feature cultural lecture rooms, a multipurpose room, a fitness center, a group exercise (GX) studio, shower facilities, and more, supporting residents' cultural and athletic activities.

Currently, the residents' self-governing center shares space with the administrative welfare center, which was built in 2006, and has faced difficulties in running programs due to aging facilities and lack of adequate space.

The city explained that, following approval in the Gyeonggi Province local financial investment review and the passage of the public property management plan through the city council, the project can now proceed at an accelerated pace. The aim is to complete architectural planning and design competitions this year, break ground in 2028, and finalize construction by the end of 2029.

In the Namsa Jeongung District, lifestyle sports facilities will be created, including a multipurpose gymnasium with a total floor area of 850 square meters and an outdoor futsal field on a site of 3,882 square meters.

According to the district unit plan for the Jeongung District, the project operator will construct these facilities and subsequently donate them to Yongin City. After obtaining building permits in August, construction will begin in September, with completion scheduled for January 2028 and official operations starting in March of the same year.

Mayor Lee Sang-il stated, "With the approval of the two public property management plans in their original forms, we are now able to provide spaces for local residents to enjoy their leisure activities," adding, "Since these facilities are for the residents, we will ensure the project proceeds on schedule without interruption."
