The; plazas. are, of- course; the-Sun- coast he Sun= coast proposal which has been on the drawing board for some time and the more recent proposal for a three million dollar plaza on the eastern edge of Goderich, in Goderichtpvvnship. Whe y the •second plaza plans e\came known, the, tQy0,.,:pf.,,,GAde4Igh beearne,,.lJRset, county planners became• upset, and the provincial government cracked a land,. freeze -on all` rural townships surroun- ding, Goderich. The government. and .planners theorized that Goderich' was ra planned community, an the township and is rowth In theory,'they".are 'right, but it- goes deeper than .that.

There is -room for • onIy0 one of the -two plaiasant if that plaza is- built within the town, the town will benefit on the taxes from the $2.5 ©fYiillion construction.

The -site, across from the Sheaffer factory, is no-fatt.h.o>✓.-: , , out of town than the approved,site in the / i:n,'dustrial park! on Highway 21. And from the point of view of serving the.,most people, the plaza on Highway 8 is more practical since it servesthe rest of the county, better. 'One wonders, `however, • about• the short-sightedness of developers• in the county: When it'',pomes to.'serving the area with a stropping , O1aza, Goderiph sees' like the le t advantageous location since it alre dy'P has a good hopping area anCSin =e it . can. draw, only one -,direction, bb Bred,, as it the west by Lake Huron' A far more rrwo Id , - - emed 'Ergo is on e sible ' �;••i►° •- r _ ,� h ,gids' -of• -- ill' you are o:ne,-9f those t o•g , ' ' aenaploye 'complaining ' that •job rvacan- .:;. _cies just can't. be .filled, have' you >thought that perhaps: those' jobs `are-rio longer -acceptable to Canadians"?" asks ; , • Clive Baxter- inTThe Financial: Post. oTvmor d-7- • �rt;'a�questl e�ari • more ,00mpanies are going 'to •be asked �in';•cttt'1frwg° months:'cb'y• offieiafeofthe Manpower and: I mmiation Department.
