We as Ratepayers, business owners and visitors to Greytown would like the South Wairarapa District Council to reopen the discussions regarding the development of Ratepayer owned land at 85-87 West Street Greytown.  We feel the current decision was made without appropriate consultation with locals and without listening to the ideas and concept put forth by Adam Blackwell and investors.

The full potential of this land will only be reached by allowing a vision of this calibre to become reality.  It will open opportunities for around 50 full and part time staff, tertiary education opportunities for local Maori, 5 star accommodation, restaurants, movie theatre and bring in much needed cash flow to help with the towns ageing and faulty fresh and waste water treatment plants.  

Greytown has a unique opportunity to showcase our region through cycling tourism; promoting our small but mighty local economy and allowing a cycling destination for people traveling the lower North Island by bike.

Pahikara is exactly what our unique little town needs, and if this Resort were to go ahead then it might help to mitigate the 15% rates rise the Council are proposing.
