The Provincial Growth Funds will be spread across three years.
Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones says Kaikohe faces significant economic and social challenges - with a high rate of people not earning or learning.

Jones says it can be a circuit breaker for families in an intergenerational cycle of poverty.
