Minister Won Hee-ryong promises to visit Ilsan and rebuild ‘speed battle’… “Government will not hold back”

On the 21st, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong visited Ilsandong-gu and Seo-gu in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and promised a quick reconstruction.

On the 21st, Minister Won toured old complexes in Ilsan, starting with Complex 3 in Ilsan Baeksong Village, Gangchon and Baekma Village, Hugok Village, and Munchon and Gangseon Village. The visit was attended by Lee Han-jun, president of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), Goyang Mayor Dong-hwan Lee, and former lawmaker Kim Hyun-ah.

The residents who met with Minister Won on that day ordered a quick reconstruction, citing only obsolescence and parking difficulties.

One resident said, “Baeksong Complex 3 is one of the first complexes to move into in Ilsan. It needs to be rebuilt quickly,” he said.

A resident of the 5th complex of Baeksong Village said, “The number of parking spaces here is about 0.5 cars. Roads on both sides are closed at 5 p.m. It is so dangerous that even the fire truck cannot come in.”
