advising Council of their very strong concerns for the economic health of
their town. Over the last ten years, there has been massive growth in
Bowmanville and Newcastle but Orono has been zoned green (no
growth). This has kept their town quaint and pretty but their business core
is struggling to say alive. Every large chain store that arrives in Clarington
takes business from the smaller stores. This is the natural way but growth
is natural too and Orono is stalled. Without some type of growth their
town will lose its stores and become nothing but restaurants and
convenience stores.
