Local leaders in Eumseong County have begun organized efforts to attract the second phase of public institution relocation to the region. During a workshop for approximately 350 village heads, participants demonstrated unified support for the initiative, arguing that such relocations are essential for stimulating job creation, corporate investment, and population growth.

Eumseong County is specifically targeting the establishment of functional clusters within the Chungbuk Innovation City by linking institutions with local specialized industries. Key target organizations include the Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK), the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT), and the Korea Fire Institute (KFI). To facilitate this, the county has secured 31 cluster sites totaling 179,811 square meters for immediate occupancy.

Local officials are coordinating with Jincheon County and the National Innovation City Association to advocate for these moves ahead of the government’s finalization of relocation plans in the fourth quarter.
