I think decisions can be better made at local regional levels than at a central level. I think that is the experience in the other countries, even where there was central government involvement.
In Iceland there was a very strong regional organization involved in the planning and funding. I thought the central government was acting much less in a control role. They said that everyone who had gone through this process met the criteria and the criteria were good. They gave them the money. They were not heavily involved at all in small craft harbours.
