Poll: What do you think about the Kōpū Marine Precinct?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Estimated to inject almost $60 million into the local economy over 30 years, the Kōpū Marine Precinct has sailed into the doldrums with far less commercial interest than expected.

Almost a year after its official opening, two local maritime-based companies are making consistent use of the new wharf, along with mussel farming operators, but councillors and business owners admit it’s not the thriving aquatic hub they’d hoped for.
