Revitalizing downtown a key to luring
industry to small towns, says Nichol
From Pogo 1
head."
"When we think about the
whole notion of economic
development we think about
luring companies in," Nichol
said. "I think economic
development and business
development is now more
about luring people in."
Nichol suggested one way
of doing that is by revitalizing
downtowns.
"It doesn't matter how
many jobs are at that local
manufacturing plant,if you've
got a downtown that's looking
a little sad for its age it sends
a signal," Nichol said. "It
sends a signal to that
community and also sends a
signal to outsiders about the
state of the local economy.
"We need to address
somewhere along the line
what is the role
of our main
streets because
they were built
as the
economic,
social and
cultural centre
of our
communities
and they're
constantly
trying to adapt
to figure out
what their role
is."
Nichol said
there are six keys to doing
business in Huron County -

"We're all small and we're all
in this together. It's probably
the best way to make sure
everybody's healthy and
strong."
