improve local economic development are in, and a
committee will be formed to help implement them.
The final report of the `Business Retention and
Expansion' project was unveiled before the public
for the first time Feb. 27 at the Exeter Legion.
Called the `South Huron Alliance for Retention and
Expansion (SHARE), the project was spearheaded
by the South Huron Chamber of Commerce and its
president Hugh McMaster. McMaster and Fred
Simmons acted as co-chairmen of the project. An
11 -member task force was formed and divided to
look after the following economic sectors: agricul-

The project was designed to identify the needs

vision to help them expand and thrive. Information
for the project was gathered by interviewing 84
businesses in the community. The 26 -page final
report detailing the study's findings was made
available at the meeting.

Simmons said at last week's meeting.

munication," and how it needs to be improved
across the various business sectors in South
Huron.
