Business PAGE 22 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 16. Turnbull takes big sell to Cambridge council It‘s better in Uptown Waterloo, Mayor Brian Turnâ€" bull told Cambridge city council Monday during a pitch to keep regional headquarters in Waterloo. Turnbull took time off from his own council meeting to make the pitch to Cambridge council, which includes five members of regional council. Waterloo will need the votes of Cambridge and township members of regional council in order to win the contest with Kitchener for the new headquarters, to be opened in 1992. It will house approximately 725 employees. "I went to talk about the site" on Silver Lake, said Turnbull later. "The proposal distinctly separates where the headquarters will go from who will build it. I didn‘t talk about the building. I talked about the site, told them we‘ve got a great site here." The presentation earlier this summer to regional council emphasized the Inducon proposal for the building on the site, said Turnbull. Regional council could choose the Waterloo site and choose either of two building finalists, he said. His presentation emphasized the rural/urban mix of the Silver Lake site, the availability of surface parking,anddxeeuyn.emblyofland,heuid.m well, the Waterloo site would be very close to the current headquarters in Uptown Waterloo.
