(Central News Agency reporter Wu Rui-chi, Taoyuan, 4th) The Hsinchu Science Park Longtan Park expansion project (Longtan Phase 3) will be submitted to the National Science and Technology Council for review. Taoyuan Mayor Chang San-cheng today stated that "what the media reported is basically correct." He added that for the past two years, the city government has been working hard behind the scenes, coordinating with the Hsinchu Science Park Bureau and businesses, and that its active cooperative attitude will not change going forward.
The Hsinchu Science Park Bureau is expected to submit the Longtan Park expansion project (Longtan Phase 3) investment plan to the National Science and Technology Council for review in May. Market rumors suggest that TSMC will build an Aem generation fab. TSMC stated that it does not rule out any possibilities and continues to actively cooperate with competent authorities to evaluate suitable land for semiconductor fab construction. TSMC did not elaborate on whether it would build an Aem generation fab.
Chang San-cheng, after attending a general interpellation session of the 3rd term, 7th regular meeting of the city council, told media that the city government has actually been working hard behind the scenes, actively coordinating with the Hsinchu Science Park Bureau and businesses. Everyone knows the current trend, so businesses are under immense pressure to build fabs, and the timeline is very tight. The city government has actively cooperated with the Hsinchu Science Park Bureau for the past two years, especially in peripheral support and communication with local residents.
Chang San-cheng said that what the media reported today is basically correct, but the actual timeline still depends on the final approval from the National Science and Technology Council and the Executive Yuan. The city government respects the authorities in charge. However, just like in the past two years, the city government's active cooperative attitude will not change. The timeline for businesses is very tight, so the city government's cooperation is also very important, and the city government will actively strive.
When asked by the media about public concern over whether TSMC would move in, Chang San-cheng pointed out that everyone can guess which company it is. Since the Hsinchu Science Park Bureau has not announced it, the city government is not at liberty to announce it on their behalf. "I think this company is the one that is currently very hot internationally and faces immense pressure regarding its entry timeline." The city government will actively cooperate.
Regarding concerns about whether water and electricity in the park would be insufficient, Chang San-cheng said that when the Hsinchu Science Park Bureau initially approved it, there were already配套 measures for electricity. For water, due to environmental assessment factors, businesses hope to use as much recycled water as possible, aiming for 100%. Currently, the construction of recycled water plants is under review by the Ministry of Interior. Previously, it was unknown whether businesses would move in, so the allocated capacity was smaller. Now that it has been officially announced, he hopes the Ministry of Interior can approve the expansion of recycled water capacity as soon as possible. After approval, providing 100% recycled water should not be an issue. (Edited by Chen Ren-hua)1150504
