Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones has announced 48-million dollars for the region this morning, to boost projects in a range of sectors.
Money will be funnelled into a Regional Freight Hub, improved digital connectivity, expansion of the National Driver Training Centre, and investment in an Advanced Aviation Hub.
Palmerston North Mayor Grant Smith says after four years of planning ... he's utterly satisfied with the announcement.
He says the Government has listened, and backed the region.
Smith says this is commercial, central and local government coming together.
