OPPORTUNITIES
in Brussels, Morris and Grey
In September, 1988, the Brussels, Morris and Grey Industrial
Committee, in conjunction with the County of Huron and the
Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology will be bringing a
group of potential investors to the community to seek investment
opportunities.
The Committee is now seeking to identify any of these
opportunities which may exist, and is also looking for ideas and
suggestions which may be of benefit in the area.
For further information, please contact one of the following
members of the BMG committee:

Investment opportunities exist
in a number of ways, says Paul
Nichol, a volunteer member of the
BMG Industrial Committee. These
include the establishment of a new
business or industry; investments
or partnerships in existing busi
nesses, using foreign capital for
expansion; or outright purchase of
an existing business.
“These people are willing to
move around,” Mr. Nichol says.
“They have money to invest, and
they want to invest it in a smaller
community, so we’d better be
ready to talk to them when they
come if we want some of it to stay
here.”
The first step in the process,
according to committee chairmen,
is for any interested party to fill out
an executive summary application,
which may be obtained from either
committee. These are brief, non-
confidential business profiles
which will be used by MITT to
target specific investment oppor
tunities in the area well in advance,
so that members of the investment
tour will know what is available and
what they want to examine more
closely in the few hours they will
have to spend in any one communi
ty-
Mr. Nichol says that nothing
very concrete is apt to happen at
the time of the first visit to an area,
but says that the impressions
formed atthat time will make or
break any future contact.
“We (local entrepreneurs) will
be competing in a pretty tough
market for attention,” says Keith
Mulvey, chairman of the BMG
Industrial Committee. “These in

vestors will be looking at places like
London and Stratford, as well as at
the larger towns in Huron County,
so we are going to have to be
prepared to give them some pretty
definite answers to anything they
might ask.”
Both local committees urge
comments and inquiries from any
members of the public who may be
interested in potential investors,
and from people who have any
ideasor suggestions relating to
in vestment opportunities in the
area.
All suggestions will be treated
with the utmost confidence, and
both committees will be happy to
explain the terms of the commit
ment more fully to interested
parties, ortoassist businessmen in
