Poll: Are you expecting lots of development and new businesses around the theatre?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

At an auction day at Bayleys this week, the Victoria St title appeared among a list of farms, commercial properties and lifestyle blocks in front of a competitive crowd of about 60 would-be buyers.
