The Townships of Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock, which make up the northern tier of Durham Region want new industrial development, and they want improved servic- ing for industries "already located in these areas. This was the general tone expressed as some 80 dele- gates met October 26 in Port Perry for an industrial and commercial seminar co- hosted by Durham Region and the provincial govern- ment. While most delegates sur- veyed after the meeting by the Port Perry Star said they felt the get-together was use- ful and healthy, there was a general feeling that little . new ground was covered, and the three northern com- A Danger!

Scugog Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said that the mess- industrial development in the north has now been made to the staff members who attended from the Region's department of planning and development. The Mayor added that he 'would like to see similar meetings in the future, and suggested the development of the tourist industry as a possible topic for considera- tion. Robert Nicol, who is dir- ector of the Region's Plann- ing and Development depart- ment said he was pleased "with the meeting in that i g construction in the north end of Port Perry. Parents who live in the area should make all efforts to keep their children off the construction site. "A building under construction presents a very real danger to the safety of young children. An accident could result In serious injury, or EN SA SA people had a chance to air their problems and express their views. He said his department would analyze the set of policy statements agreed upon by the dele- gates. His department, he added, was given some guidelines about how people in the northern communities feel about development. During the morning sess- ion the group heard speeches from representatives. of Durham Region, the Mini- stry of Industry and Tourism and members of a private consulting firm. OBJECTIVES The delegates broke into smaller groups for discuss- ions on individual problems and issues, and at the end of the meeting those remaining agreed on a set of eight policy statements pertaining to development in the north- ern areas. These included the demand that the com- munities get a "fair share" of the region's funding for economic development; that special marketing attention be given these areas by the Region as well as input on planning matters when requested. » The objectives also called for a refinement of long-term development plans to co- ordinate land uses, servicing and marketing of industrial inventory to supply demand; "No instant miracle expected an improvement in com- - munications through greater use of 'press, service clubs and local councils; the need for continued action to. spruce up downtown commercial core areas; to investigate lifting the half- load limits on certain region- al roads in the springtime; and for-the three northern communities to meet on a regular basis to discuss com- mon problems and attempt to come up with solutions. EXISTING INDUSTRY Mr. Bill Smith of Seeburn Metals in Beaverton had a few words of caution for the - delegates. He said that while it is all very well to try to attract new industry to the areas, more attention should be paid to those already in operation, especially when it comes to expansion plans. During a question and answer period Mr. Smith said that if Seeburn today was looking for a plant loca- tion, it would be 'hesitant' about moving to Beaverton, and he cited water servicing problems as the reasons. In fact, a recent expansion of the plant was carried out in Orillia and involved ten new jobs. Mr. Smith did say, how- ever, that the Beaverton lo- cation oes not hurt the company's ability to com- Continued on Page 9 is ges raion bE A YA po Shi a Construction is expected to get underway in the next two weeks on a 20,000 square foot industrial plaza in Port Perry. Tony CeSaroni of Carlan Industries unveiled the plans for the $250,000 plaza at an industrial seminar held at Old Town Hall last Wednes- day. "The single storey brick building is to sit on about two acres of land directly across from the Fair Grounds, and will front on Regional Road 8.54ccess to the plaza will be off Simcoe Sheet. Mr. Cesaroni told the Port Perry Star after the meeting last week that the building - will be constructed to allow for subdivision into eight units of 2500 square feet each, with occupancy on a lease or rental basis. He added that there can be considerable flexibility in the partitioning 'arrange- ments to suit the specific space. requirements of an individual tenant. No serious The plaza will be suitable for light manufacturing con- cerns, storage or warehous- ing and is the first phase of development<on an 11.2 acre parcel of land which will have full municipal services. Mr. Cesaroni indicated that he has received assur- ances from Durham Re- gion's Industrial Develop- ment department that the Region will actively work to assist the developer in lining up tenants for the plaza. Durham's Industrial Development director Robert Nicol told the Port Perry Star that he was im- pressed with the plans for the plaza and suggested that finding suitable tenants will be easier once the building is erected and the facilities can be shown to potential clients. If construction of the pro- ject, to be undertaken by Carlan Homes, a division of Carlan Industries, proceeds on schedule, the building will be ready for occupancy in the summer of 1978. trouble on Halloween night Early indications are that Halloween 1977 was - quiet and calm in Scugog Town- ship with no serious incid- ents. Unit 1 of Scugog Fire De- partment kept a full comp- liment of men on duty Mon- day night. They were called out on several occassions to turn off hydrants. There was one wooden fence fire reported and two incidents in Greenbank involving burning logs and tires. Damage appears to have 'bee limited to the usual soaping of windows in the commercial areas, a few smashed pumpkins and overturned mailboxes. The Whitby detachment of Halloween is a time for ghosts, witches and things that go bump in the night. And the kids love it. The" clear weather brought the liftle ones out in force filling their baskets with all kinds of good things to eat. ELA RL 1x Sp A oop the OPP had"about 35 off- icers, including auxilliary, assigned to Scugog Town- ship Monday night. They patrolled in cruisers, and on foot in Port Perry. The paddy wagon was also in the Towyship just in case there was serious trouble. The pofice carried wrenches and turned off several hy- drants .which had been opened by pranksters. It wasn't quite as calm in Bowmanville on Monday night as extra police had to be called in to control a gang of about 30 teenagers who were roaming the st- reets looking for trouble. At least one person was arr- ested for smashing the win- dow of a'cruiser. : 4 ]
