‘BizRebuild’ initiative set to help locals in decimated NSW town of Mogo | Sky News AustraliaThe New South Wales town of Mogo was decimated during the summer’s brutal bushfires, but the new ‘BizRebuild’ initiative is giving locals hope and a chance to get back on their feet. \n\nIt has been almost two months since the ferocious bushfires tore through the South Coast town, however locals have been left feeling the full effects, with many properties and businesses still decimated. \n\nLocal business owner, Richard Adams, whose son passed away just weeks before the fires hit the town, has told Sky News he has lost 200,000 dollars worth of stock due to the fires. \n\nThe ‘Bizrebuild’ initiative, which is chaired by former Governor-General Peter Cosgrove, aims to help locals continue trading now and into the future. \n\nThe initiative will create a pop-up mall in Mogo and will be in place for the next two-years, so locals can have a chance to set-up and continue making an income as the town’s rebuild takes place. \n\n“This is quite a remarkable event, this is going to establish a new CBD for the town … we need to re-establish that commercial activity a soon as possible,” Ms Cosgrove said. \n\nPaul Murray Live ‘Our Town’ is brought to you by Harvey Norman. \n HarveyNormanAU Surely the townsfolk have suffered enough without a bunch of blowins shouting about themselves in the main street. . Can’t they just get on with it without all the backslapping & self congratulations. So much for quite Australians. Paul Murray & Gerry Harvey, say no more. auspol HarveyNormanAU The network of climate deniers and racist sexist misogynists... As if that wasn’t enough...
