Legislator and New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui has pledged to oppose the relocation of the Sanchong wholesale market to Luzhou, responding to strong local sentiment against the move. Speaking at a town hall meeting in Luzhou, organized by city councilor Yen Wei-tzu, Su assured residents that their voices would be respected.
"We oppose the relocation of the wholesale market to Luzhou," Su stated, aligning with the concerns of thousands of Luzhou residents who have signed petitions against the plan. She further committed to accelerating key urban development projects in Luzhou, including the north-south urban planning initiatives and enhancing medical and social welfare facilities.
Yen Wei-tzu highlighted that the proposed market relocation has stalled significant development in Luzhou for years under the previous KMT administration. She urged voters to support Su, believing she can lead New Taipei into a new era of progress. The town hall saw active participation from residents, with a message board filled with expectations for Luzhou's future, including clear opposition to the market's move.

Su also shared her policy proposals for elder care, including subsidies for dentures for seniors aged 65 and above, and for youth support, emphasizing collaboration with Yen Wei-tzu, who previously served as the director of the Taoyuan Department of Youth Affairs. The focus is on creating policies that directly address the needs of young people.
The event underscored the local community's strong stance against the wholesale market's relocation and their desire for improved public services and infrastructure in Luzhou. Su's commitment to these issues positions her campaign as responsive to the immediate concerns of the Luzhou electorate.
Luzhou's many major constructions have been stalled for 20 years due to the Sanchong wholesale market relocation case.
