Christmas cheer Midland Salvation Army Lieutenant Norman Garcia receives $500 from the Midland Lions Club, for the Army's annual Christmas Cheer campaign. Represen- Town exams sites Three or four parcels of land in Midland are being considered as the site for a research and development centre. Midland council was asked last month by the North Simcoe Develop- ment Corporation (NSDC) to donate land for a research and development centre. The committee ap- pointed by Mayor Al Roach, and NSDC representatives, held their first meeting last week. Kamran Khozan, NSDC commissioner, expects that a recommendation will be ready for Midland council within the next two weeks. The ideal parcel of land would be 10 to 15 acres, ac- cessible, visible, with a good view of the surroun- dings, in a non-residential area but connected to all municipal services, and with a connection to com- mercial level 550 volt electricity. Possibile sites for the consideration of the com- mittee are land south and east of Little Lake Park, the northeast corner of William Street and Highway 12, the area of Tiffin Park, and east and southeast of the intersec- tion of Vinden Street and Fifth Street. Huronia Park, above Bayshore Drive, is the on- ly completely municipally owned land which meets most of the criteria. It is not 10 to 15 acres in area. The NSDC, the mandate of which is job creation, is not idle in the meantime, Khozan says. Negotiation has begin with York University, Waterloo University, and Georgian College, Khozan says. He expects that by February the groundwork will be laid. Letters of mutual interest wil be exchanged. The Ministry of Employ- ment and Immigration has given the project a "green light.' A proposal for money will be submitted to the federal Community In- itiatives Fund by the end of this month. A copy of the application for the multi- million dollar project will be forwarded to the provin- cial Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The private sector will be ap- proached for money, too, Khozanh says. Khozan described himself and NSDC chair- man Robbert Hartogg as being extremely optimistic. Khozan believes the ceremonial sod turning for the building will occur at the end of the summer of 1987. The proposed research and development centre will concentrate on skills on which Canadian in- dustry depends but which are in short supply. Contract negotiations Tomorrow, negotiation for a contract will resume between representatives of Waltec Plastics and 170 employees. A conciliation effort by a provincial government mediator last month was unsuccéssful. Local 1476 of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTW) members legally can strike on Dec. 14.
