compensation from the Taitung County government for repeated delays that have blocked its hotel project on a county beach, but Taitung has vowed to fight the request.
Miramar Resort Hotel deputy manager Lin Hung-che (林弘哲) told CNA his company has filed a request for arbitration after exhausting all administrative and legal means to keep the project alive.
Taitung County Deputy Magistrate Chen Chin-hu (陳金虎) confirmed that the county government has received a court notice on arbitration and is organizing “the strongest team possible” for the legal fight to minimize any financial impact.
The project originated in 2004, when the local government concluded a contract with the developer to turn the sandy beach along Shanyuan in Beinan Township into a resort. [FULL STORY]
