Senger Citizen -- Tuesday, January 16, 1996-5 A. IPCF seeks commercial land expansion IPCF Properties wants to expand the commercial * area of land it is planning for development on the north side of Highway 7A in Port Perry. » IPCF (the commercial development 'arm of National Grocers/Loblaws) is asking council to approve a zoning amendment which would increase the commercial area of the property by half a hectare, and also increase the open space area of the land by just over an acre. This would be achieved by deleting the residential area of the property which is currently part of the zoning.on the 7.4 acre parcel known locally as the Conway lands across the highway from the Port Perry Plaza. IPCF bought the land late last year and announced plans to put up a 35,000 square foot grocery store this year, plus additional retail stores of 20,000 and 10,000 square feet and a free standing fast food outlet. There were no objections to the zoning change request when it was presented at a public meeting Monday afternoon in the council chambers. Scugog council is on record as wanting to aequire all or part of the open space part of the property that winds its way along the shore of Lake Scugog. Council wants this land to add to the chain of public parks that make up the lakefront in Port Perry.

"We (Canada) will get our (economic) house in order. We have no other (od aT-Tol /Qo lV) oI it TTF: choice," he said. With a smile on his face, he offered this advice to small business owners: chase the receivables, hold the payables, move the inventory and build some reserves. Unlike many gloom and doom reports in the media these days about Canada's business future, 'Mr. Callery said there are plenty of reasons for optimism such as acceptable inflation and interest rates. And he said new technology and the entrepreneurial spirit in the country will create new jobs "lots of them" to replace old, obsolete jobs that go by the wayside in the modern age. A new slate of Chamber * of Directors was confirmed at the annual meeting.
