Regional economic development minister Shane Jones is looking at how the Provincial Growth Fund can be repurposed for initiatives deemed more critical to fighting the economic impacts of the Covid-19 outbreak.

“Ministers will soon consider whether unallocated funds should be redirected into regional projects that will have an almost immediate impact in line with the Government’s Covid-19 economic response,” said Jones.

Projects that could provide initial economic support over the next two to six months and aid economic recovery longer term would be prioritised.
