The construction of the Dali Joint Administrative Center has been delayed for 7 years, and the project funding has soared from 900 million yuan to 1.62 billion yuan. It was once corrected by the Audit Office, and was urged and criticized by blue and green councillors. Construction was finally started more than a month before Lu Xiuyan resigned, and the city government The groundbreaking ceremony was held today. Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan and blue-green mayoral candidates Jiang Qichen and He Xinchun were present to celebrate. He Xinchun said that the start of construction is a good thing, but the construction has been delayed for a long time, failing the expectations of local folks, and making Dali people feel aggrieved.

Lu Xiuyan said at the ceremony that the campaign headquarters of her two mayoral elections were both located in Dali and she has a deep affection for Dali District. The city government has invested 1.62 billion yuan across bureaus to build the Dali Joint Administrative Center, planning a modern building with 2 floors underground and 6 floors above ground, integrating the district office, household registration office, Datun Branch of the Taxation Bureau and public trust services. It is expected to be completed in April 2029.

However, city councilor Zhang Fenyu pointed out that the 15th phase of Dali City’s land rezoning includes the land for the construction of the Joint Administrative Center. Planning began in 2017, and in 2019, the Dali District Office was temporarily moved from Daxin Street to the third floor of the Fiber Craft Museum, etc. When the new administrative center was rebuilt, the construction plan shifted from self-construction, BOT, and back to self-construction. During this period, it was rumored that the land would be sold and the construction would not be completed. Local people were furious. It took almost 8 years to complete the cycle, and the budget also increased sharply from 900 million to 1.62 billion.

Zhang Fenyu said that these eight years showed that Lu Xiuyan had poor administrative skills and was hesitant to make decisions on major affairs. In her speech, she emphasized that Dali was the most important, so the campaign headquarters for the two elections were placed in Dali. People in Dali know the truth. She started construction in the last two months of her term as mayor, which is an explanation to the people in Dali. Otherwise, she would have become a sinner of the times.

Lin Deyu said that although he was pleased to start construction today, looking back at the city government's repeated decision-making and poor administrative efficiency in the past eight years, Dali missed a good opportunity for development. The most important thing in the future is that the project should be promoted as scheduled, and we must strive to complete and open it ahead of schedule. The annual budget has been prepared. The people of Dali must make sure that the project goes smoothly. This is the hope of the folks in Dali.

Lin Deyu said that Mayor Lu boasted that the headquarters of her two mayoral campaigns were in Dali and that she paid the most attention to Dali. However, the joint administrative center was delayed until the last moment before leaving office. This is really a disgrace to the folks in Dali.
