Prime Minister takes tour of Taupō Town Centre Transformation project
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern today took part in a tour of the Taupō Town Centre Transformation project, calling it “the most shovel-ready project I’ve seen”.
In July, the project received $20.6 million in government funding as part of the ‘shovel ready’ Crown Infrastructure Partners Fund, and is one of the country’s first funded projects to break ground.
Local jobs, transforming our CBD and enhancing our connection to the lake were all on the agenda, with the project expected to create 92 full time jobs over two years, and transform our public places into spaces that attract people to spend time and invest in the town centre.
As part of the tour, the Prime Minister visited the intersection upgrade work site on Ruapehu and Tuwharetoa St.
Programme Delivery Manager Ian Gray said it was important for the Prime Minister to see the significant progress already underway as a result of government support.
