Hayley Horan: Wellington Chamber of Commerce CEO on the canning of the Golden Mile project
Published 2 days, 7 hours ago
Description
Businesses in the capital are looking forward to more certainty, with the controversial Golden Mile project now officially canned.
Councillors voted yesterday to scrap the CBD upgrade plan in favour of more modest upgrades.
It follows a review last week finding further budget blowouts were likely.
Wellington Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Hayley Horan told Mike Hosking businesses want a more vibrant city and are now feeling like they're at the table.
She says the years of reviews and re-scopes have been exhausting, so having a decision beats another year of limbo.
