M anaging Director of Vallco – Antonio Vallelonga feels that this project was not only close to home but to his heart having been involved in business in the area for over 30 years. Andrew Taplin said ” this is so much more than just about a cinema complex – it’s about much-needed jobs for the area, and will provide a desperately-needed economic spin off for other businesses. We believe the proposed development will inject millions of dollars into the state’s economy – not just Glenelg – and will also help the precinct return to being a major tourism and entertainment area.” – Messenger
