Jan. 9, 2025, will be known as “Yongin City Day” after Williamson County Commissioners Court approved a resolution recognizing the South Korean city at a Jan. 7 meeting.
The big picture
The vote comes about six months after commissioners approved a sister city partnership—an agreement likeminded cities can form to promote business or culture—with Yongin City.
In September, County Judge Bill Gravell visited South Korea to sign the agreement and participate in a ceremony signifying the communities’ cooperation, according to county documents.
