Legislature redefines old military dependents’ villagesBy Fion Khan / Staff writer, with CNAThe Legislative Yuan today passed an amendment that would allow public redevelopment or relocation of all military dependents’ villages, regardless of age. The current definition of “old military dependents’ villages” under Article 3 of the Act for Rebuilding Old Quarters for Military Dependents (國軍老舊眷村改建條例) refers to those completed before Dec. 31, 1980. A wall in a military dependents' village is pictured in an undated photograph. When the definition of old military dependents’ villages was established in 1996, it covered housing built before 1980, he said. The ministry could repurpose the Tsu Ren Eighth Village for dormitories, he added, calling it a “win-win-win” outcome.
