Chiba Gov. Akiko Domoto used her first policy speech Friday to repeat her pledge to revisit a reclamation project in Tokyo Bay and to hold further talks on plans for a second runway at Narita airport.
Domoto said in her speech to the Chiba Prefectural Assembly that she will listen to opinions from residents before deciding on the project to reclaim 101 hectares of the 1,200-hectare Sambanze tideland, off the cities of Ichikawa and Funabashi.
Domoto did not specify which parts of the plan are to be reviewed.
The 68-year-old former Upper House member, who took office earlier this month, had repeatedly called for an overhaul of the project.
