Zurich Citizens News, 1974-03-28, Page 4PAGE 4 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1974 Reports to county (by Shirley J. Keller) R.S. (Spence) Cummings, Huron's development officer, tabled a comprehensive report of his work during 1973 and told council that in his opinion, Huron County should establish a County Tourist Promotion Association to handle the inc- reased number of tourists expec- ted to this area this summer. "The world-wide shortage of gasoline and the desire of people for vacations indicate that we should have an influx of tourists this season, " said Commings. "I am sure that the people in the northern states will be motoring to Canada for their vacations this summer. I hope that the operators of tour- ist facilities are preparing themselves for a big tourist season." Cummings said he was plan- ning to get interested tourist operators from Huron together to establish a County Tourist Promotion Association. He said this association should be to promote tourism in the county from within their organization and eventually, this would relieve the county of the resp- onsibility for promoting the tourist industry through its development committee. The Sport Complex at one time proposed for Vanastra has not had enough support to give success to the venture, Cumm- ings also reported. He said the former CFB Clinton ,.: ' an arena, a gymnasium, a curling rink and messes reserved for a sports complex but decision has now been made to sell or rent each of these buildings separ- ately to industry or to any other use. ANNUAL MEETING OF FEDERAL HURON PROGRESSIVE Conservative Association FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 29/7 4 CLINTON LEGION HALL GUEST SPEAKER - ALF HALES M.P. The arena, for instance, is being used year round now for roller skating, Cummings said. Where industry for the county is concerned, Cummings said the absence of available rental space has been one drawback in all his dealings with indust- rialists. "The county residents, wheth- er public or private, can do something about the lack of rental space, " Cummings said. "Each area needs a starter building for industry, a struct- ure that can be divided into segments of 5, 000 square feet. Most industries require a place to set up. They will then exp- and into other segments of the building or build a building of their own." "If they build, it is usually in the town in which they first located," said Cummings. Cummings indicated one of the best industrial types to hope for is an industry which is related to the agricultural basis in Huron. He said Huron should not have to compete on the same basis with cities and towns along highways 401 and 400, and felt that some agricultural related industries should have some incentive to "move closer to their source of supply." "To establish a viable secon- dary economic base in the county we need tourism and some additional industry in each of our towns and villages, said Cummings. There is hope for this, accor- ding to the county's develop- ment officer. He said enquiries by industry have increased over the last two months.
