Best of 2020: We re not a ghost town anymore Raetihi bounces back
30 Jan, 2020 04:00 PM
4 minutes to read A number of Raetihi businesses believe the time is now for those looking to set up shop.
This follows a few tough months of business for the town.
In October last year, 400m of State Highway 4 gave way to a slip, adding 90 minutes driving time between Whanganui and Raetihi via Fields Track or Whanganui River Road.
A temporary road for SH4 was reopened on December 20.
A little over a month on, Raetihi businesses are getting back on track, with traffic and customers going up day by day.
