Huge boost to Taupō District from Provincial Growth Fund

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones yesterday announced two significant Provincial Growth Fund investments into entrepreneurial geothermal businesses in the Taupō District.

Geo40, a Taupō-based company employing 19 people, was awarded $15 million in funding.
