Scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Hensall Public School. t 4 naire will be given wider circulation. in his opening remarks, meeting chairman Reeve Harry Klungel suggested pro- duction of a brochure giving a community profile of the village, and detailing such ad- vantages as cheap hydro and natural gas supply, adequate sewers' and waste disposal, direct access to a major highway anda railway siding. The brochure would give real estate personnel something concrete to pass on to those considering establishing an industry or a residence in Hensall. BIA president Joe Bengough summed up Hen - sail's principal problem: the village is blessed with a large industrial base, but many who work in the mills, the recreation vehicle and trailer plants and at Agripress live elsewhere. Bengough said Hensall can not compete com- mercially with larger shopp- ing centres, and even towns like Exeter and Lucan are worried about the impact of the new shopping mall being built in the north end of Lon- don. He suggested Hensall specialize, (perhaps in anti- que stores) giving Franken- muth and Elora as examples. Sheila Reabuin's complaint that there is no display in Hen- sall for the housing manufac- tured in the village was back- ed by Jack Drysdale, who mentioned the success of Grand Cove Estates in Grand Bend which has now grown to 295 families. Ron Wareing said the village's population has re- mained about the same for the last 100 years. He said growth of the retail and residential sectors should be given first priority. "We'll just have an industrial pork if we don't do something," he said. Sam Taylor disagreed, say- ing that was putting the cart before the horse, as "housing follows industry." All agreed that the most natural area for residential expansion was to the south, close to the school and the business section. In 1977 Alan and Gerald Reid submitted a formal pro- posal for a subdivision on ap- proximately 50 acres of land they owned between the CNR tracks and highway 4 in Hay township, part of lot 19, con- cession 1. County planners discouraged subdivisions in townships, believing they should be part of already ex- isting centres. The proposal was put on hold while Hensall and Nay completed their secondary plans. Finally, after a series of OMB hearing, the land was annexed in January 1982 to come within the boundaries of Hensall. The Reids sold the land to Ken Elder last year, and he is now using it for agricultural purposes. A 100 -acre parcel abutting the northern municipal boun- dary of the village on part of lot 22, conceskion 1, was an- nexed at the same time. Robert and Eldora Caldwell own 91.4 acres of this parcel of land, which Caldwell wants rezoned to accommodate industrial -commercial development. A meeting will be held May 8 to hear representations from the public. Bob Nelson was asked how to initiate development in a small town. In reply he outlined a plan of action. First, make sure a majority of residents supports change and growth. Awareness of your town's strengths and weaknesses are ,of primary importance. Decide what to do, get organized, work out priorities with input from the town, devise ways to get there, and spend time getting Scale North._ JI !Il -HI York Same your act together? were some of his suggestions. Both Nelson and Davidson reiterated the importance of having a contact person or group to answer the specific questions of people thinking of FORMER PLAN — After a proposal by Gerald and Alan Reid for a subdivision in Hay township, the land was annexed to the village of Hensall. Could this be the locating in Hensall. Businesses would want to know services available, wage rates, vacant buildings, and other pertinent information. 'Mere should be a group in Hensall ready to pick up the ball and run with it," David- son commented. Nelson said his department was geared primarily to help- ing individuals going into the manufacturing or servicing business. Loans are available to assist in the development of industrial land, and his ministry can act as a resource group. "We can't do your job. We are the tent, but we need a frame to put it on," Nelson commented. "I'm here to assist in -any way I can." Klungel called for nomina- tions for four people to form a development committee. Some nominees declined because of pressure of other business. The new committee is composed of Inge Mowat, Joe Bengough, Bill Bengough and Jack Lavender. Their job will be to convince people that the village of Hensall is a good place in which to live and to -. ..._ ...... worn.
