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.
