It's happening in. Brussels!
From the interested open minded
reception of citizens who viewed
the village plans exhibit on
display Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of last week, it is
obvious that Brussels has art
exciting future.
Many dropped by the former
village workshop' on Turnberry
St, to examine layout maps pre-
pared by Nick Hill, Huron County
Planner, who was on hand .all
three days to discuss propoisals
with individuals,. "I am very
pleased with the village response
to the storefront exhibit"; he
said, "Citizens are becoming in
volved in the plans and interest
is , high". He remarked upon
Brussels' positive attitude
toward growth and development.
Maps on display were numer-
ous, large, colourful and' easy
to read. They outlined proposals
for village land use; the .existing
open space on the Maitland River
and proposed open space of the
river environmental corridor,
The commercial core, existing
and proposed, was indicated along
with areas designated for zoning
for institutional development,
housing , agriculture , and
industrial.
Historical features and plans
for tree scaling' were also on
sketch maps.
The plans are for gradual long
term progression and, are far
reaching but will not change the
friendly rural atmosphere
present in the village.
Jim Cardiff, realtor, who
aided planners on housing pro-
posals, commented on the fact
that planning will be good for
everyone especially for residen-
tial areas increasing the attrac-
tiveness of the homes.
"It's great, I'm certainly in
favour of it." said Mrs. Verna
Thomas at the storefront display
after looking at the plans.
Mr. D.' A, Rand who owns
home on the riverfront says,
lived here for 42 years and I
wouldn't leave". He feels a
riverside park, would not only
attract newcomers but add
immeasurable scenic beauty-,
'immeasurable pleasure and
scenic beauty for present resi-
dents.
Mrs. Bonnie Wilson has been
engaged as researcher for Brus-
sels by the . County planning
Board. She will be talking' with
citizens, beginning in the
downtown area in September fol-
lowing the enumeration of Huron
County. .
Along with reserach work on
the village, countN. planners will
be involved It meeting with the
Businessmen's Assoeietion, VII-
lage Council and the Conservation
Authority. "The purpose of these
meetings is to preparea frame
work for action", explained Nick
Hill. "A public meeting will
be held, about mid-October when
final plans for the village will
be presented".
Mr, Hill mentioned a recent
trip to Petrolia where he dis-
covered a "most fantastic paint-
up scheme" underway. Students
working on a OFY grant there
are restoring the downtown Main
Street in natural, earthy and
cheerful shades of browns; olive
greens and reds. ‘,(A. few pots
of paint and there you are," he
said. Talking to louslnessnien he
found they are greatly in favour
of the scheme and people on
the street are saying , impressed,
"Petrolia has picked up:"
