내용

Busan Metropolitan City announced that it will hold a resident briefing on the Saenggok Village Metropolitan Incineration Facility Expansion Project at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow, September 21, at the Gangdong-dong Administrative Welfare Center.

The Saenggok Village Metropolitan Incineration Facility Expansion Project involves the construction of a metropolitan incineration facility with a daily processing capacity of 500 tons, along with resident amenity facilities, in the area of 9-3, Saenggok-gil 26beon-gil, Gangseo-gu, on an approximately 18,000-pyeong relocation site for Saenggok Village.

With a total project budget of KRW 456.2 billion, including KRW 315.8 billion for the incineration facility and KRW 140.4 billion for the relocation project, Busan Metropolitan City aims to complete resident relocation by the end of this year, 2026, and complete the project by 2033. To date, 133 of the 162 households subject to relocation, or approximately 82 percent, have completed their moves.

Busan Metropolitan City plans to conduct the briefing as an opportunity to review and explain the project step by step, from the process undertaken to date through all aspects of the project, with a focus on the issues residents genuinely want to know about.

In particular, the city will provide detailed explanations of major issues of interest to residents, including the project’s progress and matters related to environmental safety, and will also provide time for a candid question-and-answer session.

In addition, the city plans to transparently disclose publicly releasable administrative materials produced during the project process, including official correspondence and review documents, so that residents can examine them directly.

Sim Jae-min, Assistant Mayor of Environment and Water Policy Office, said, “We fully understand the concerns and worries of Eco Delta City residents. With that in mind, this briefing is intended to actively communicate with residents and present the facts held by Busan Metropolitan City as transparently as possible. Going forward, we will continue to transparently disclose the project process through communication channels with residents and develop practical measures to address their concerns.”
