July 2, 2010
Local MP’s Chris Tremain and Craig Foss are very proud of the announcement today of Government support for the Hawke’s Bay Regional Museum project.
Chris Tremain says. “I am a huge fan and very supportive of the project and together with Craig Foss have worked with Minister Chris Finlayson to ensure that this dream is now very much a reality. Mayor Barbara and her councillors should be congratulated for achieving such a milestone”.
“We also need to acknowledge contributions by the Hastings District Council and the Hawkes Bay Regional Council” says Craig Foss. “Once again we see the power of the whole province pulling together to Back the Bay”.
The Hawke’s Bay regional museum has one of the most significant collections in New Zealand” says Chris Tremain. “I’m really pleased that Minister of Arts and Culture, Chris Finlayson, has recognised this and seen fit to ensure the development of the museum is prioritised”.
“The new build will provide another boost to the Bay’s economy just as we’re starting to lift out of the recession providing more jobs and more tourism opportunities” says Craig Foss.
Fresh on the news of the extension to the Airport this announcement is another step toward a more robust economy in Hawke’s Bay.
