By John Greig Advance-Times Staff Four local municipalities are supporting a draft five-year action plan for the area drawn up by the Wingham Economic Development Committee. The councils of East Wawanosh, Morris and Turnberry Twps. and the Town of Wingham endorsed the work of the committee at a meeting of the councils and the committee in Wingham last Thursday. The economic development committee is made up of representatives of each of the councils, along with members of the public. Not only was the action plan endorsed, but the councils agreed to meeting four times each year to review the plan, check its progress and add to it. The draft five-year plan was put together in the past month, when it was pointed out to the town that there wasn't one in place. Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney said it's time for local municipalities to work together. "Twenty years ago there was open hostility. That moved to grudging acceptance. Now we have to work together," he said. "I think if we take in the greater area (around Wingham), it will benefit us in the long run," he said. The plan is divided into seven areas, including general commun- ity, residential growth, industrial development, commercial develop- ment, institutional facilities, cultural, education and recreational and airport. Many projects are outlined under each heading. For example, under general community, an intemet site, organizing an annual event and lobbying the county to upgrade County Rd. 86 from Listowel and Wingham, are a few of the priorities identified. Under industrial development, marketing available land, and completing rezoning and servicing of land at the Wingham airport were identified as priorities. A public meeting was held last night to gather public information about the rezoning of the airport lands. Finding a developer to build a rental industrial building is another suggestion. That way, someone with a good idea could get their product into production without worrying about building. The new recreation complex planned for Wingham, along with encouraging more post-secondary school opportunities and the expansion of child care facilities were identified under the cultural, education and recreational heading. Having the four municipalities work together is a theme running through the plan. That would mean, for example, co-ordinating lists of available residential and commercial land and perhaps co-operating with marketing. "There's no point in servicing 75 new lots in one place, when there are 50 in another," said John Schenk, a member of the economic development committee. Another common concern was making sure that actions to reach the identified goals are taken immediately. "We certainly want to start moving on this now," said Arnold Taylor, chairman of the committee and a Wingham councillor.
