There's even more to love about Marlborough with this week's announcements of planned investment into iconic visitor attractions. The New Zealand Aviation Museum Trust has announced a significant extension of the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre in Blenheim and Furneaux Lodge has unveiled an artist's impression of a major refurbishment of its iconic main building. Both announcements have been welcomed by Marlborough Mayor Nadine Taylor and Destination Marlborough. (Illustration at top shows the planned New Exhibition Hall at Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.
