has with Taipei Dome contractor Farglory Group (遠雄集團), the conglomerate yesterday said it would comply with the city’s requirements on completing safety reviews.
Despite Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) saying that he and Farglory chairman Chao Teng-hsiung (趙藤雄) did not reach a consensus during a private meeting in the middle of last month, Farglory spokesman Jacky Yang (楊舜欽) yesterday told reporters that the meeting was a turning point that aligned the goals of both sides — to complete the construction of the Dome complex.
Yang said Farglory had delivered a letter of consent to the city government, stating its willingness to comply with legal requirements to which the complex had been subject.
Yang said the conglomerate would complete ongoing reviews of the complex’s fire safety and readiness for emergency evacuation being performed by the Construction and Planning Agency’s Taiwan Architecture and Building Center. [FULL STORY]
