It is proposed `that with Federal financial assistance, the Committee will provide a variety of services including • information :ex- change, ex- change, promotional programs, business start-up assistance and guidance to government programs. While the County -Federal discus- sions are taking place, the South Huron Economic Development Committee is .keeping busy on ini- tiatives of its own. A major study of the "impact of Government Poli- cy on Business Development in South Huron County" will be of particular interest to local business- es of all types and to the communi- ty at large. The study, designed with assistance from local business- es, has five objectives briefly de- scribed below: (1) to define the nature of govern- ment involvement in economic de- velopment both through programs aimed at promoting development and through regulations that affect business; (2) to determine the ways in which government policy enhances business in South Huron: (3) to consider the business issues and problems that are attributed to government policy: (4) to identify potential improv- .ments in government policy and ad - Mn relating to economic ,,development; (5) to clarify the mandate of the • South Huron Economic Develop- ment Committee and to identify ways in which help can be provided in obtaining government assistance. The study will go through three stages. First, existing economic studies and ,government literature will be examined. Second, a de- tailed survey will be administered to .the business community. Third and finally, a full report wil be pre- pared and presented to senor levels of government. 'The fust stage is now completed. The committee encourages loch businesses to assist in the project by filling out the survey when they re- ceive it.
