Video delights audience Continued from page 1 enough to make it happen,” Mr. Beavis said, adding that it is important for all community groups to work together toward a common goal if prosperity is to become a reality. “When Ifirst came to Ridge­ town in the 1970’s, there were seven or eight stores here, and virtually no industry,” Mayor MacMillan said. “But we decided we needed to buy and develop some industrial land, and now we have two new automobile plants in the area and several smaller industries, there has been some downtown re-development, all the stores are occupied, and a major retailer, employing more than 100 people, will open next Spring.” Both guest speakers said that the promotional video was an excellent first step in promoting the Brussels, Morris and Grey area for further development, but stressed that the promotion must be a continuing effort in order to be effective in the long run. Mr. Mulvey says that the video will be made available to anyone from the area going to any conventions or other events where it could be shown over the next few months, and said that members of his committee will also be travell­ ing to various communities and following up on leads with the tape as time goes on. He also asked for community volunteers to assist with the work of the three-member BMG Indus­ trial Committee from now on, and later said that eight people - ‘‘a good cross-section of the commu­ nity” -had signed up during the evening, while others will likely come forward in the new year. He said that all volunteers will be acknowledged by letter immedi­ ately, and a meeting will probably be set up early in 1988 to plan the next steps in the promotion of one of Huron County’s fastest-growing municipalities.
