SUBJECT: Towards an Industrial Development Strategy
UI ,;Z
TELEPHONE 623-3379
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend the following to Council:
1. That this report be received;
2. .-That the Town of Newcastle sponsor an Industrial Strategy
Luncheon on Tuesday, May 29th 1984;
3. That the Mayor be authorized to invite those
representatives in private industry that have expressed
interest in the industrial development of the Town;
4. That the necessary funds to sponsor the event be drawn from
the Receptions and Tributes Account through the Mayor's office.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
For the last couple of years the Town of Newcastle has sponsored a
Promotion Day. While appreciated, there is a need to develop an
ongoing dialogue with private industry. Hopefully, through this
dialogue.an Industrial Promotion Strategy will emerge.
It is hoped that this luncheon meeting can be used as a vehicle to
discuss such matters as recent changes to the Region of Durham Act,
services available through the Region of Durham, provincial programs
and local initiatives. Equally important is the establishment of an
ongoing liaison between the Town and the private sector. If we
intend to work with the private sector to attract industrial opportunities,
it is important to establish meaningful dialogue throughout the year.
In large measure the initiatives promoted by the Town will be dependent
on the input received from the private sector.
Respectfully submitted,
I David .Johnston, M.C.I.P., DSJ.. nof
