About25 Rotorua jobs will be created with $1.12m in funding for local roading projects relating to vegetation control, Economic Development Minister Phil Twyford and Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones announced today."We need to keep New Zealand businesses going, workers in jobs and regional economies afloat and viable, while at the same time ensuring the health of our country is not compromised," Twyford said.
"The initiatives announced ... will help redeploy displaced workers into alternative employment over the next three to six months."
