Tainan Inspects Major Public Projects: School Reconstruction and Community Center

Tainan City's Vice Mayor Chao Ching-hui conducted an inspection of two significant public construction projects, emphasizing the city's commitment to upgrading local education and culture. The projects include the reconstruction of Anyie Elementary School in Madou District and the Beitouyang Community Center in Jiali District, both slated for completion in the latter half of the year.

The Anyie Elementary School, over a century old, is undergoing a NT$181.45 million reconstruction funded by the Ministry of Education. The new campus will feature 21 classrooms, 12 restrooms, and 7 staircases. Designed to achieve high energy efficiency and green building certifications, the school will incorporate local cultural elements, such as "pomelo-shaped" staircases and a "grapefruit plaza," reflecting Madou's identity. Construction is currently ahead of schedule, with an expected completion date in August.

Meanwhile, the Beitouyang Community Center project, a collaboration between the central government's Indigenous Peoples Council and the city government, has a total investment of over NT$102.49 million. The four-story building will offer 817.08 square meters of space for cultural exhibitions, community gatherings, workshops, and care services. The main structure is nearing completion, with exterior finishing, interior decoration, and landscaping to follow. This project is anticipated to be finished by the end of the year.

City officials expressed their commitment to ensuring these projects are completed on time and to high-quality standards. The upgrades are expected to drive simultaneous advancements in local education and cultural infrastructure, enhancing the quality of life for residents in these districts.
