Board endorses strategy Around the world While last week’s Hullett Central Public School Christmas concert was very musical, there was also plenty to learn as well, as the students educated those in attendance, both at the matinée and at the evening show, which was standing room only, about how the holidays are celebrated around the world. Here, members of the Kindergarten A class were on stage doing some singing and dancing, and wearing some great head-gear.

He also referred councillors to a chart with a list of a number of industries. With construction and health care being listed as 1.8 and 1.6 on the chart respectively, he said that agriculture is an industry that’s noticeably absent from the chart. He said that while many of the industries hover between zero and two, depending on their importance and presence in the community, agriculture is an eight, so it is very far off the chart because of how abundant the industry is in Huron County. The second part of the equation, Tousaw said, is the availability of shovel-ready land and where the need for that land is predicted to be. For example, there are 16.5 and 16.2 hectares of shovel-ready industrial land in Huron Park (in the south end of the county) and Goderich and east of Goderich respectively, whereas in communities like Seaforth, Blyth and Lowertown Wingham, there is none. Where the two parts of the report converge, Tousaw said, is where the report has predicted shovel-ready land will be needed in the future, based on employment trends and existing employment opportunities in the community. Many of the areas would facilitate expansion of existing businesses because, as Tousaw said, much of economic development comes from expansion of existing businesses, rather than new businesses. The 128-page study then outlines a number of recommendations for both the county and for lower-tier municipalities to help increase the amount of shovel-ready land within their borders in order to make the community more attractive to potential and existing businesses looking to expand. Two frontrunners in the field of increasing shovel-ready land, Tousaw said, have been North Huron and Morris-Turnberry, which have been working on a pilot project in recent years with the Wingham Industrial Land Development Strategy. The two communities have been working together to develop shovel- ready land, Tousaw said, and they have already begun to see positive results and should be viewed as a model for other lower-tier municipalities in that regard. Council approved a motion to adopt the strategy that is scheduled to be ratified at the next council meeting, early next year after the county’s Economic Development Board gave the report its stamp of approval.
