Airport Announcement great news for Bay
November 4, 2009
The announcement by Hawke Bay Regional Airport Chairman, John Pallairet, is exciting news say local MP’s Craig Foss and Chris Tremain.
Since first being elected in 2005 the extension of the airport runway has been a priority for us” says Craig Foss. “Both Chris and I have worked hard down in Parliament to ensure that central Government would not be a barrier to the Bays runway aspirations. Our goal is to ensure the extension would happen before the rugby World Cup”.
“An extended runway is important for Hawkes Bay” says Chris Tremain. We’re one of New Zealands most go-ahead areas and it’s about time this long standing issue got sorted out”.
Both MP’s believe that the extended runway will help to grow the local economy. “It will be good for businesses, good for exporters, good for tourism, and good for jobs” say the MP’s.
“We congratulate the Board on the proactive steps being taken and are fully behind the project”.
