Incheon is advancing several major infrastructure and social welfare initiatives. The Bong-o to Gyeongmyeong-daero road project has achieved a benefit-cost ratio of 1.13, prompting a review by the Korea Development Institute to determine whether it will proceed as a government-funded or private investment project.

In the construction sector, Incheon City has signed a cooperation agreement with POSCO E&C to revitalize the local construction industry during the Incheon Boulevard Generalization project. Meanwhile, the city is conducting a public preference survey for the official name of the upcoming 'Incheon Museum Park,' with candidates including 'Incheon Museum Park,' 'Museum Port Incheon,' and 'Incheon Museum+.'

Regarding social welfare and resident support, the Incheon City Council passed an amendment to support residents affected by airport noise. The new ordinance establishes a legal basis for systematic surveys of 7,202 households to better identify welfare needs and environmental damage. Additionally, local lawmakers are calling for infertility treatment subsidies to be transitioned from local to national funding to ensure long-term financial sustainability.
