0s3sjgcmssmsrw ccoyvisvvzgrt by richard beales special to the tribune pickering a major multinational computer manufacturing firm has announced plans to relocate its canadian head office in pickering commodore computer will construct a 125000- squarefoot plant and office building on the north side of bayly street at san- dybeach road commodore president and general manager art goodall says work will be gin immediately with hopes of meeting a pro jected completion date of march 1984 goodall says the complex will employ 200 people some of whom will be from the area and will produce the popular commodore 64 and vic20 personal compu ters he says he doesnt know how many jobs would be available to pickering resi dents but a good guess is probably around 100 people construction costs will be slightly over 3 million goodall says and with the land on top of that the whole package will be in the area of 4 million in making the move to pickering commodore has a chance to consolidate all its torontoarea interests in one centre currently theyre scattered in three smaller buildings in toronto goodall says this was a major reason behind the new building weve got various parts of our operation all over the place now he says its not efficient the pickering site was chosen over two alterna tives in markham goodall says that as far as trans- v time from toronto was concerned it was a very close tossup between pickerng and markham the deciding factors he says were low land costs and a great tax rate the site selection process went quickly once the need for a major facility was established it took six to eight weeks from front to back goodall says we moved into new facilities recently our third plant in toronto and as soon as we moved in they were too small now that the site has been purchased from pickering landowner bert windberg the torontobased fried man group has been given the green light to start de velopment immediately surveyors are on the property right now goodall says and we commodore will be work ing closely with the town and with the region in the next while the projected completion date of march 1984 may be unrealistic he says but the companys going to give it a good shot i dont know if its feasi ble but were going to try a lot depends on the weather conditions this winter- commodore manufac- tures furniture as well as computers goodall says that computer employees at the two existing scarbor oughbased plants would be offered first crack at jobs in pickering while the furni ture workers face a more uncertain future the furniture people will be consolidated he says though noting there will be job loss potential pickering mayor jack anderson is pleased with commodores decision to relocate in the town its the largest ihdust- rial development in picker ing in quite a few years he says its important to have a highprofile com pany because it can bring subsidiaries pickering was considered by commodore right from the start according to the mayor because of the price and location of the land the company itself felt because of the transporta tion corridor available highway 401 and the cnr line that pickering was certainly viable he says
