Pocheon City has secured 22 billion won in funding from Gyeonggi Province to support two key projects: the K-AI Drone Testing, Evaluation, Certification, and Education Center and the Hantangang Riverside Park, with each project receiving 11 billion won. This funding aims to enhance the cutting-edge drone industry and tourism infrastructure in the region.

The drone center is expected to establish Pocheon as a hub for the drone industry in Korea, aligning with the Ministry of National Defense's initiative to train 500,000 drone operators. The riverside park aims to attract tourists to stay longer, enhancing the local economy by linking existing attractions and creating a space for relaxation and ecological education. City officials emphasize the long-term competitive advantage this funding will provide.
