Cenhalia, Ontario's only fly
In a modern day ve14144, of
beating swords into plowshares,
Ontario is converting an 441 -
dolled military base into a thriv.
ing industrial community.
' Centralia Industrial Park, 2.b
miles north of L ou d , is a
-former air farce base where
thousands. of Canadian, Corn..
mpnwealth and NATO pilots
won their wings during and fol-
lowing the Seed World War,
Today the steady hum of in-
dustary has replaced the raucous
sounds of training aircraft. Eight
m ufacturers at Centralia turn
out roducts varying from rac-
ing 4a-chts
ac-inghts and, bicycle tires, to
autorniotive lighting components
and plastic plumbing fixtures.
Aircraft again roar down
Centralia's runways, however.
Now they are mainly turboprop
executive aircraft on missions
of commerce. ,For Centralia
is Ontario's only fly -in indust-
rial park, and one of twoin all
of Canada.
Phased out as an air base in
September 1966, federal auth-
orities mothballed the 767 -acre
facility, ,intending to strip it
and return it to pastureland. To
nearby Huron County corirnuti-
ities it meant the loss. of $5, -

setviee»civliao paefl.
but weeds had barely begun
sprouting along Centralia's
stilled runways when the•Ontar.
io government bought the base,
including 80 buildings and 363
houses, for`° $600, QOq and Hann*
ed the Ontario Development
Corporation to develop it for
industry.
ODC-- a provincial agency
devoted to stimulating eeanorrn»
is and regional development in
Ontario through business advis-
Cary services and an industrial
loan programs --promptly set
about promoting the facility
across North America and in
Europe, Work began refurbish-
ing hangars to industrial needs,
Centralias amenities would
be envied by many Ontario
cotnnunities of comparable
size. With fully serviced land,
the park's facilities include a
hockey arena with ice the same
size as Male Leaf Gardens, a
movie theatre, a 17 -room
school, bowling alleys, tennis
courts, churches, swimming
pool, baseball diamonds and.

tial streets.
