Plans for waste-to-energy plant withdrawn from Westport now mooted for Hokitika

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Westland mayor Bruce Smith said "anything this big" would never get 100 per cent support, but the scheme would increase Westland's GDP by 20 per cent and make the West Coast self-sufficient for power.
