RI Ape RRR pe Ee ee ee oe Money works two ways The man who sells Midland to industry says that on occasion federal money is a carrot used to lure business out of town. A local federal govern- ment consultant says that Midland and Penetan- guishene are doing ex- tremely well in terms of in- dustrial development. Matthew Parry, Midland's economic development commis- sioner for the past year, asks, "Why should federal government money be us- ed to move an industry here elsewhere? There's something wrong with the mechanism." Parry says that an in- dustry, which he declined to name, has moved from Midland in the past year, and that federal money was a factor. "There have been in- stances when federally funded actions have sup- ported the migration of business opportunity out of Midland in the past year." Robbins said he was not aware of that case. "It must have been a pretty small in- dustry." Mention of the use of federal government money to help industry to move, or to build a plant in a new location, arose during the recent Georgian College board of governors board meeting held in Midland. Parry was asked by Georgian College President Wayne Busch if Midland Library has answers Are you looking for a job? Are you interested in what kinds of products are being manufactured in Midland? How many peo- ple are employed or who the parent company is of a local company? asks the Midland Public Library. The latest edition of Scott's Directory is now in the reference department. It is an up-to-date directory of all manufacturers in On- tario, what types of pro- ducts are being made, where they are, who the executives are, the number of employees and their complete address and phone number. The following is a list of new books available at the had made an effort to ai- tract Magna, the parts manufacturer which will be building a plant in Collingwood. Parry answered yes. "'It usually boils down to government activity other than our own local govern- ment activity' determining where industry goes, Parry says. ; However Midland can- not count on federal government money to help attract a Toronto industry to move here, Parry says. Midland made a "'stab" at convincing Toyota to choose this area. And Sim- coe County spent $7,000 to produce material to enable it to be on Toyota's short list of possibilities. 'That's a lot of money. We can't af- ford to pay for reports like that without help, and sup- port." As far as Magna building a plant in Collingwood: "How much do you think Collingwood had to do with it?" The federal government was the more influential force, Parry says. '"That's great for Col- lingwood." Robbins is one of 27 con- sultants in Ontario with the Ministry of Employment and Immigration. He works for the industrial ad- justment service division. He points out that Sim- coe County is placed at present by the federal government in a Tier 1 position. Tier 1 areas do library as of Sept. 18. Fiction.

Midland was in the same position as Collingwood, when RCA announced closure of its Midland plant, Robbins says. The federal government was an influence in the decision of Mitsubishi to buy the RCA plant. In addition about 25 Midland and Penetangui- shene businesses received financial assistance. When Robbins looks at the current scene, he sees an expanded or expanding Grew Boats, Advanced Ex- trusions, Weber Tool and Die. Nelson Cote has mov- ed his furniture business into the empty building 'once owned by Bausch and Lomb, more recently by NEBS. Bruin Engineered Parts opened with the assistance of the federal government. "A lot of good things have happened." Parry uses the words lively, and bright, to describe interest by outside business in Midland. Op- portunity is here for anyone with an interest, he says. "People inclined to be in business could well take a look." "We can demonstrate to them what some of these businesses are.' In- vestors, Parry says, are harder to find than invest- ment opportunities. He cites Midland Storage on William Street as an exam- ple of the bringing together of an investor and an in- vestment opportunity.
