Premier Cho Jung-tai Inspects Chiayi Sports Center, Praises City's Excellent Fiscal Discipline

Premier Cho Jung-tai inspected the West District Sports Center project in Chiayi City today. He noted that while the central government provided only 200 million TWD in subsidies, the Chiayi City Government self-funded 410 million TWD. This demonstrates exceptional fiscal discipline and financial capacity, which he hopes other local governments will emulate. Chiayi Mayor Huang Min-hui, along with legislators and officials, accompanied the Premier. The facility, which began construction in November 2023, is over 98% complete and is expected to open in September this year. Mayor Huang also requested central assistance for lighting upgrades at the KANO Baseball Stadium and funding for a light rail project connecting to the High Speed Rail station. Premier Cho emphasized balanced development for Taiwan and stated that the central government would have more capacity to assist local projects through revised fiscal laws.
