in Hambaksan Central Park
Pyeongtaek City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 4th that the Pyeongtaek Museum construction project has passed the second phase of the local finance investment project review by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
The local finance investment review is a system in which the Ministry of the Interior and Safety or local governments examine the necessity and validity of a project before budgeting to prevent duplicate investments.
