The EMA says the government’s announcement of a new fund to replace the Provincial Growth Fund is good news for the economic recovery of the regions.
Chief Executive Brett O’Riley says the $200 million Regional Strategic Partnership Fund will be welcomed by its members in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty in particular.
“They saw the benefits of the Provincial Growth Fund pre-COVID, but now need another boost because since then they have had setbacks such as closures of large employers,” says Mr O’Riley.
