The arrival in Greytown of a full-fledged commercial and domestic interior fittings industry points to the way in which individual endeavour is extending both the depth and the spread of the borough economy.
At a time when the government is talking up its big-budget regional development campaign, the Greytown experience demonstrates how a flourishing cabinet making and building components sector has sprung from its once flourishing sawmills
Nirvana Interiors, a high style turnkey fittings operation adheres to the demand in the southern Wairarapa region, already famous for its premium wines, for top-of-the line furnishings styling and fashion.
Nirvana was introduced to the area in April under a business-to-business acceleration scheme known as G5 sponsored by South Wairarapa District Greytown community board councillor Christine Stevenson.
Symbolically, the site now occupied by Nirvana and a group of other similar fittings distributors and retailers was before its transformation the domain of a vehicle refurbishing work.
The journey into this particular interior emphasises the way in which district local governments nudge the former agri-services town into adapting to the more recent demands of the style and premium hospitality era.
Greytown is already the home of the North Island’s leading settler-folk museum and is well now for its numerous boutiques and coffee house, and also cabinet makers.
