Partial committees formed for business plan
Three committees which will investigate
specific opportunities for economic im-
provement in Seaforth, were partially
formed at an informal meeting at the town
hall on Thursday. More members however,
are still needed in order to proceed further
with the investigation.
"What we have right now is not bad, but
we'll continue to recruit members," com-
mented Seaforth's Commercial, Heritage
and Economic Development Coordinator
Cathy Vida. She added she'd like to see a
better cross section of the community on
the three committees.
"I'd like to have at least eight people on
each committee, plus myself and a
member of Seaforth's Economic Develop-
ment Committee," she said.
The spinoff of a Strategic Business Plan
for the Town of Seaforth completed in May
1989, the committees will address the
possibilities of economic improvement in
Seaforth through: 1. Improved/Expanded
Services to Seniors, 2. Retail Sector Expan-
sion, and, 3. Small Manufacturing Sector
Expansion. Ms. Vida said she'd like to see
some consumers and perhaps an accoun-
tant on the retail committee, and a
developer, real estate agent and
teacher/principal on the manufacturer
committee. Anyone with an interest,
however, is encouraged to get involved.
Initially each committee will be given an
operating budget, and will be required to
draft up a plan of action which will take
that budget into consideration.
SERVICES FOR SENIORS
Developing services for seniors is feasi-
ble in Seaforth because it recognizes the
growing elderly population and their
specific needs, as well as their significant
spending power. It also builds on the ex-
istence of three major health care facilities
which are already in the community - the
hospital, the retirement home and the ex-
panded nursing home. Furthermore it
takes advantage of the rural lifestyle and
small town ambience available in Seaforth,
while attracting an educat ri and profes-
sional labor force who will contribute to
the general health of the community.'
In developing services for seniors, this
Steering Committee will be considering the
following major projects: -construction of
residential facilities of all types with vary-
ing levels of care; -mobile health care pro -

cle will subsequently be upped in 1990. The
rental fee for the fire truck is now at $3
for the first hour and $2111 for each addi-
tional hour.
TENDERS AWARDED
The 1990 tender for Tuckersmith's gravel
has been awarded to Wes Riley of
Teeswater. Mr. Riley's quote came in at
$84,440 for crushing and hauling 13,
yards of gravel and crushing and storing'
an additional 7,011 yards. This figure
represents a l0 per cent increase from last
year's fee. 4
STOP SIGNS ICOR EdMmNDVILLE
A letter of concern from Wilmer Kelly of
Egmondville has prompted Council to
agree to install stop signs at designated
areas in the village. Road Superintendent
Doug Poulton noted that when the street
signs were installed in Egmondville a
number of years ago, most of them were
designed to accomodate stop and yield
signs. Mr. Kelly, who owns property on the
corner of William and Bayfield Streets, re-
quested that a 'dead end' warning sign be
installed at the jog in the road, after a car
went through and onto his yard on
February 4, damaging a tree and barely
missing a corner post.
It was agreed that stop signs would be
installed in the village this year, and that
yield signs would be considered in 1991.
MANSE TO SELL
Huron County Land Division Committee
has forwarded a severance application to
Tuckersmith Council, from the Kippen
United Church Board of Trustees. The
board is requesting severance of the Manse
from the Church property for the purpose
of selling the house.
FARM RENTED
The tender for the .rental of the
Township's 60 -acre parcel of land for the
1990 growing season has been awarded to
Iiipereek Farms. Five tenders were receit•-
ed for the rental of the property on Lot 23,
Concession 4 of the Huron Road Survey.
LAND PURCHASE BY-LAW
A by-law was passed, authorizing the
purchase of Lots 6,7 and 8 in Brucefield by
the Tuckersroith Municipal Telephone Com-
pany. The land, belonging to Ethel L.
Scott, will be used for the construction of
a new municipal telephone office, storage
area and switching station in the Village.
Construction is not slated to begin on the
facility for a few years yet.

fessional services meeting the needs of
seniors in their hones and residence; -a
transportation system to meet the specific
needs of seniors; -establishment of an
educational and research facility specializ-
ing in geriatrics; -retail and personal Ser-
vices catering to seniors; -attraction of a
government department or agency that
services seniors.
RETAIL SECTOR EXPANSION
Expansion of Seaforth's retail sector is
the natural course to follow in economic
development as it builds on the existing
strong retail sector, and can in effect,
reduce retail leakage to Stratford and Lon-
don. It takes advantage of the Main Street
revitalization program and attracts
motivated entrepreneurs to Seaforth, mak-
ing it an area centre for shopping and
services.
In expanding Seaforth's retail sector, this
committee will be involved in the following
projects: -publishing a list of specific retail
opportunities for expansion and start-up; -
organization and coordination of local retail
and service businesses including marketing
and promotional activities, a "buy local"
campaign, common issue resolution and
lobbying of senior governments; -
recognition that competition from the
larger communities not from within
Seaforth, is the primary issue, and
developing a means to deal with this exter-
nal competition; -development of products
and services for seniors in conjunction with
the "Services for Seniors" strategy; -a pro -

McCabe says this represents a "worst-
case" scenario, and he will be advising
Goderich council to put aside $200,000 for
landfill capital expenses in 1990. If the
worst happens, he says council' can draw
from its reserves.
Goderich's Commissioner of Works, and
advisor the landfill board, Ken Hunter
said 1990 will be the biggest year for
landfill expenditures, 1991 will also be
almost as high -spending, but by 1992 the
municipalities should have to pay only.
operation costs.
gramto capitalize on Main Street
revitalization, promoting Seaforth as a
shopping destination.
SMALL MANUFACTURING/INDUSTRIAL
SECTOR
Expanding Seaforth's small manufactur-
ing sector will benefit the town by
broadening the community's tax base,
creating jobs for the area's labor force,
and stemming the migration of the 20-40
year group to larger centres.
The following projects will be carried out
by this committee: -preparation of a list of
manufacturing opportunities that are com-
plementary to the area's needs for
distribution locally, provincially, national-
ly and internationally; -an inventory of
real estate that is available locally for use
by manufacturers; -the development of a
central coordinating office to complete both
items noted above and encourage and
assist interested groups. Also to coordinate
local efforts to attract and retain industry
with those off surrounding municipalities,
the county and province.
"Right now all we have is a plan, ideas
that can be presented to the steering com-
mittees. It's now up to the steering com-
mittees to expand on them and come up
with a way of meeting the goals," said Ms.
Vida.
A regular meeting date for the commit-
tees will be set up once full committees
are achieved. Anyone interested in serving
on the committees should call Ms. Vida at
the town hall.
NEW SITE
McCabe says the board expects to close
the deal for the new landfill site by the
end of March.
The new site is located immediately
north west of the existing dump, and
belongs to George Laois. McCabe expects
the board to pay about $500,000 for the
second site. The purchase is subject to
provincial government subsidy.
The existing site is being filled and
covered, and the board hopes that with
approval from the Ministry of the En-
vironment. the new site will be open for
use this year. The old site will be filled
to capacity in 1990.
