la) Introduction
Two industries, together employing 10
people are present in the village. Industrial
development has been minimal over the last
quarter century. Based on Brussels'
generally amenable residential environment
and the proposed installation of full services,
the option for new industry is held open. This

village as an industrial park. The industrial
park, north of the railway tracks and east of
County Highway #12 is well buffered from
residential areas to the south.

and open space.

i) To retain .the option for light industrial
development by designating an area for

corporate design and landscaping
