Southland just can’t seem to get decent investment rolling :( I had been looking forward to a locally manufactured, plant based milk alternative.

Sorry, this link is probably paywalled:
Questions over oat milk plant relocation
No additional detail, but it is good to see the more ‘mainstream’ papers finally picking the story up.
Some key points/quotes from the article:
The company being NZFF.
Since the only two NZFF investors listed are Great South (49%) and The Warehouse (51%), does that mean that The Warehouse is dictating terms or that other investors are being brought in?
It is a shame that no one has bothered to present the “bigger picture” to Southlanders for them to “get”!!!
Personally, I think Great South and the Southland Councils really need to be taken to task over this - the ratepayers have/are funding this, so have an absolute right to know what is going on and how/why these decisions are being made. Unfortunately, this is what Southlanders have come to expect from their Councils, and it is not good enough.
