HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1988-09-21, Page 5Opportunity tour 0 from page 1 Like most of the people on the tour, Mr. Soroosh says a week is not long enough to decide on an investment, and he will be stay- ing in Canada for a few months and doing some research of his own. In deciding exact- ly where he will immigrate, he will be con- sidering the many Ontario Universities which his daughters could attend. Mr. `Soroosh has lived in London for 25 years, and has been the managing director of a company in Iran for 50 years. Jitpal Singh Sahota and his wife Mohinder Slur have lived in London, England for the past 26 years, but are originally from' Pun- jab, India. "Small communities are nice if you want to relax and take it easy," says Mr. Sahota. He says he is most impressed by the open spaces in Huron County, and says a lot Of the investors of the tour have mentioned the same thing. Mr. Sahota is in the cultured marble and textiles industry. Most of the investors will be immigrating to Canada for certain, for them it is just a matter of where they will locate. "Everyone I talked to was impressed with the Town of Seaforth," said Mayor Alf Ross, and he added some showed an interest in in- vesting here. Mr. Ross acknowledges that one visit isn't going to bring about firm business deci- sions, but the investors were shown that Seaforth is ripe for growth and has a stable, agriculturally based market. He now hopes some of them will come back for a closer - look at what the town has to offer. The mayor said the tour was "an excellent opportunity to sell the town. That's 30 people who yesterday didn't know Seaforth existed." It was also noted that Seaforth presented more different opportunities and business plans to the investors than any other municipality on the tour. THE HURON EXPOSITOR, SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 — 5A CARDNO HALL was one stop• the Investment Opportunity Tour made In Seaforth. Renovating the hall and using it to provide entertainment during the theatre season was one of the many opportunities suggested to the investors. Seen here the investors inspect some of the antiques on the stage in the hall, and one of the visitors looks almost ready to expound some Shakespeare. Corbett photo, New buildings keep PUC hopping The Seaforth Public Utilities Commission has been kept busy in recent days with the servicing of new residences and commer- cial interests in town. l,ew .ervicing for residences on Alex- ander, East William and West William Streets have been installed, and there are possibly two more to come. Service for com- mercial buildings include the town's public works building on Oak Street, the proposed new storage shed on Oak Street, three ser- vices installed at the former clinic building on Goderich Street, and service is required on Crombie Street after the relocation of an existing building. Servicing for the proposed new subdivi- sion was another main topic of discussion at the September meeting of the PUC, and the utility has received permission from the arena committee to cross arena property to service the subdivision with hydro and water. A line for upgraded service to the Hospital building has been completed, and the utility will be installing a metering tank and meters soon. New underground service to the Seaforth Health Care Facility has been installed and connected to the transformer bank, and all that remains to be done in the upgrading of that facility's service is to in- stall metering and change over from old ser- vice to new. In addition to these projects, the local utility assisted the Brussels PUC deal with storm damage which twice interrupted ser- vice in Brussels. And 500 feet of new secon- dary and new poles were installed in Dublin. Waterworks approvals from the Ministry of Environment for Coleman and Crombie Streets watermain extensions are not ex- pected until October. The extensions were sent in for approval in the second week of July- and normally only take six weeks to get approval, but there is a backlog this year which has caused delays. It was noted, however, that watching the PUC calendar is not hard on the eyes. Legal opinions are still being sought for the waterworks resolution. A resolution allowing for the implication of water restric- tions will soon be proposed. This issue will be dealt with again at the next meeting of the commission. The commissioners noted that thanks were in order to the people of Seaforth for their response in promptly cutting back con- sumption during the water shortage which accompanied the summer's drought. A field safety supervisor from the Elec- trical Utility Safety Association visited the utility on August 22 to discuss some hydro safety related issues. Working around backhoes, and a recent accident in the EUSA membership were main topics. Tools and equipment were observed to be in good condition, and housekeeping practices in the PUC shop were also observed. A safety supervisor from EUSA also visited on August 16 regarding a water report. Again safe working practices were observed. CANADIAN TIRE MAIN ST.
