WHY INVEST IN HOROWHENUA?
With the arrival of the Peka Peka to Otaki Expressway, combined with the planned O2NL (Otaki to north of Levin), Central Government investment in modern fit for purpose roading. This presents an array of opportunities for both Horowhenua locals, business and new arrivals. Once completed, the new expressway will make Wellington an hours drive from Levin, greatly increasing the district’s integration with Wellington and moving us to the heart of the lower North Island economy.
