What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, a member of the Kuomintang, announced a plan to relocate Taipei Songshan Airport and build an AI park on the 300-hectare site. The proposal suggests transforming the area into an industrial cluster and residential zone, which would reportedly generate an estimated 65,000 jobs and house 35,000 residents. Chiang stated the site could achieve an annual economic output of NT$12 trillion (US$375.5 billion), though he did not specify a new airport location, pointing instead to the third terminal at Taoyuan International Airport, scheduled for completion in 2033.
