working n Henrictte KuiporjJ Acton graduated in Nursing Continued from Page 1 community loday a tour map and other motion The tour is intended to bo totally self- guided The stone building which now houses St Josephs School Is the first tour stop notes approaches have been made to school board authorities about Leather town taking over the building and turning it into a new St Josephs is built Another project already underway Is the develop ment of a brochure about Acton as which would be sent out to Chambers of Commerce and tourist Information centres throughout Ontario other Canadian provinces and United States The committee would like to commission the writing of a book based on the comprehensive report of Actons history compiled by three students hired with a Job creation grant this past summer The girls have poured through back Issues of the Ac ton Free Press books about the town and conducted dozens and dozens of interviews with residents to compile towns history This book would be des igned for sale to residents as well as to tourists Is hoping to work with Dave of the Acton Legion Branch who Is the incoming president of the Dominion Legion In the hopes of publicizing Acton as Leathertown at next national convention The committee would also like to work with the local scouts to have Acton Leathertown promoted at future scouting conventions signs It is expected that welcome to Ac ton signs with big logos on them will go up soon on private property at the four entrances to town This Idea was shelved earlier this year go the plan wouldnt interfere with municipal and BLA forts to have welcome to Acton and community organization signs right beside the highways with provincial approval Break from Chamber In another move the Leathertown Committee Is planning to severe its relationship with the Chamber of Commerce It is felt It has become too big a project to be o subcommittee of the Chamber The committee which has added a number of new members feels It shouldnt be affiliated with any specific group in Acton but draw support from all groups cant operate in the com mittee studies and parliamentary procedure way the Chamber exists Also it has been suggested some Individuals and groups will become involved in the project if it isnt affiliated with a community organization and others involved in the project sec no reason why Acton cant a major tourist and shopping attraction like which drew mil lion visitors last year Need more merchant support But Leathertown feels it needs more support from local merchants than It has received so far Petrillo declared Interested merchants and are needed to help with the various projects now on the drawing board Fund raising and dona tions to finance these ventures Is also needed The Acton Business Improvement Area and Hills have already launched a of the core area phase two of the report was unveiled last night Tuesday and plans after the study is com plcted call for applying for provincial grants and low interest loans for rcvitalization However this rcvltalization can only apply to public lands and in volve tilings like off street parking development and Petrillo feels Leathertown can help the mer chants refurbish the shop exteriors and build on excellent redevelopment like village and Acton Mews by having artists concepts and ar chitectural renditions of downtown buildings show ing how they could look developed Tho committee would also like to have redevelop ment cost estimates prepared Reluctant to spend Committee members arc concerned about the at titude of most local merchants so far ex plained there seems to be a Catch problem Mer chants dont want to spend on Leathertown and redevelopment until they start seeing tourist dollars coming in but ho warned the tourists will come but their dollars wont stay unless projects are developed and redevelopment takes place Seek businesses If the existing businesses dont climb on the Leathertown bandwagon and others believe theyll just have to go out and attract businesses which do want to Acton a tourist centre Acton needs more businesses Involved in product and craft sales antiques gifts etc and the committee feels if local entrepreneurs wont grab he brass ring the committee will have to go to places like and seek firms that will They also think Actons contacts in the leather industry can be used attract leather product retailers to town and advertising In leather trade magazines will be con sidered says downtown business people need a push to get involved they must be that Leathertown can and will work Wo have to pry in to wallets let the moths out and get them Mer chants to spendsome money Petrillo and some business people in Acton ore afraid that If doesnt take off in the next year tho tourists will come and shop and eat at the Hide House and leave town without seeing or shopping in the rest of Acton enthusiasts believe the project has been a success so far It has survived and the con has been established Now the committee members arc going to strike out and pass on the Leathertown ideas goals and financial needs to citizens and merchants on a one on one basis A lot of people have been sitting back and waiting to sec if this thing Leathertown was going to die It wont die because wc just have so much to do Wo arc slowly getting more and people coming and just need more help and some money Petrillo declared Gall of also hud on outdoor booth Saturday Qswoge Friendly deer pays visit to Miller home by Doris Fines Mrs Fred Miller was watching what she thought was a dog com

Inventory of existing facilities la required The consultants must deter mine if there is a need in the community for which could be held in a restored town hall and identify potential groups which

hensive plan for proposed programing and opera tion of the restored must be complied The consulting firm must come up with concep tual plans for Heritage restoration of the exterior as well as plans

tial users Part of public participation Is tho two public meeting likely one before the draft report is sub mitted and another prior to the completion of the final report and the meetings are to be

commercial or proffeslonal follow ed by a proposal schedule of imlementofion of the recommendations Briefly describe any alternative uses listing them in priority preference and sub stantiate their viability said ho spent a lot of time on the terms of reference for the study rewording them numerous times to satisfy provincial concerns He noted any changes now from province will be very minor In nature Levy was quite concerned about the short period of time for study but Shepard said he spoke to three firms with experience doing these kind of pro bes and they thought the timetable was more than fair The recreation director pointed out the study Is so detailed because he wanted to leave out nothing He added the consultants are to seek as much input
