County Council Demands Study of Rural Industry Development
Halton County industrial committee urges Ontario to launch a province wide study of rural area development and its effects. Focuses on industries locating just outside municipalities and relying on town services, citing Hand Chemical Company near Milton as a case. Local towns seek sewer and water hookups as guidance for future growth. The aim is to help municipalities facing expansion pressures near rural borders.
