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

There are those who are not happy with the decision

Great South, the Southland Regional Development Agency, is funded by the four district/regional councils, i.e. ratepayers, so there is good reason for not being happy about the support they are giving for the relocation. Great South appear to be very quiet around providing meaningful details for the support and the reasons for the move.
