The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-04-06, Page 3Progress payments made to Lucknow and Ripley The Village of Lucknow has received grant funds totalling $200,000 to be applied to the cost of completing the design engineering for the proposed sewage works system. The announcement was made earlier this week by Ontario En- vironment Minister Jim Bradley and the Hon. Murray Elston, MPP for Bruce. The money authorized is what is known as a Progress Payment, according to Lucknow Reeve Herb Clark, and is part of the ministry's total grant committment of about $4,246,000. A Progress Payment such as this will be made by the government following each stage of work on the sewage works system. The total cost of the project has been estimated at $5,027,000. This most recent payment has been authorized for the 1988-89 fiscal year. Grant to Ripley The Village of Ripley was also on the receiving end of a government grant this week. At the same time Mr. Bradley an- nounced funds for Lucknow, he and Mr. Elston authorized funds totalling $175,000 for completion of a design for a sewage works system for residents of Ripley. This system will include collector sewers and treatment works and will run up a bill of some $1,631,000 before it is com- pleted. The ministry has committed grants totalling $1,386,000 towards this project. As with the Lucknow grant, these funds are Progress Payments and not additional funding. County to review tourist activity For a number of years now increasing numbers of visitors have been coming to Huron. It It is now time to review this ac- tivity so that we can use it to best advan- tage, and plan better for both our residents and visitors. The Huron County office of Planning and Development has therefore commissioned a research study on tourism development within the County. This project is part of a longer term study concerning the potential for tourism development within the County. The present project will focus on local residents' attitudes and- reactions to tourism. It is based on the belief that the aspirations of the local communities are central to a healthy tourist industry, and to the `welcoming feel' of a destination area. For this reason a full spectrum of the views held by residents of the county is be- ing sought. The study will involve interviews with a range of residents, and community and tourist industry leaders. The objective is to discover the major concerns, both positive and negative, surrounding tourism. Following the interviews, a survey of residents will be made to explore these issues in greater detail. Should residents receive a survey form, they are urged to respond, even if they believe that they have little to offer the study. The aim of the study is to hear the full range of opinion about tourists and visitors.

"In an important way those who are sent a survey `represent' others in the County, who may hold similar views" says Mr. Simmons. Everyone's views are therefore important to the study. The study is being undertaken by Mr. David Simmons, a visiting faculty member of Lincoln University College, New Zealand. Mr. Simmons has been in- volved in a number of tourism studies in New Zealand and while in Canada is based at the University of Waterloo. The present study will contribute to his Doctoral research.
