area since regional government began The plan proposed by busin ess development director Matthew Fischer during last Wednesday administration and finance committee meet would increase the region financial commitment for promoting business growth from 68 cents per resident to Regional expenditures for business development are fall well behind those of other regional governments in Ihe province Mr Fischer said The new Involving aggressive advertising and newsletter promotion may raise the department budget in the next two years to from 1381 BO Reluctant to support the proposal without knowing how the budget will look al the end of Ihe year the committee instructed Mr Fischer to study how the campaign can be gradually phased in over a twoyear period in case council is unable to accept the subs tan tial increase proposed for the department budget in one year It would be ludicrous to adopt the 49 figure when you really don know what you Carol Gooding said llalton Hills Mayor Pete admitted he was a little bit gun shy about accep ting the program without see ing suggestions for slowly adding it the region budget The financial commit sought by the business off ice could come at the expense of program funding for other departments if council decides maintain business development high priority in next year regio nal budget Mr Fischer said he was not yet expecting approval of Ihe program from council but hopefully some endorsement of the idea He indicated the per resident figure will be necessary eventually the region is to continue entice businesses A commitment of less than this lev el would be ignoring the potential which exists Tor the region economic develop ment Mr Fischer said in his report lo committee llalton per capita commitment to business development is the lowest among five other regional administrations Hamilton Wentworlh Sudbury Windsor and Durham Operating somewhat like a crown corporation Ottawa Carlelons business develop ment office spends about per resident on promoting Its area In the nation business community Hallon proposed 49 figure would put us in mainstream Mr Fischer said neither higher nor lower than financial commitments made by most regions He has suggested that the region spend about on advertising in such business oriented publications as the Globe and Mail extolling the opportunities Hat ton offers for growth and development Although committee memb ers appeared hesitant about spending that much on media promotion they were enthu siastic with Mr Fischers proposal for a regional ess newsletter Newsletters he said can promote mora complex business ideas better than advertising and editorial copy In newspapers We want to present as progressive region committed to he said A newsletter is better suited to convey complicated ideas If its professionally done will be read and it will be kepi Seminars social gatherings and even golf days are also recommended a part of the region business offensive Ha I ton may purchase audio visual equipment to aid its promotional campaign and Mr Fischer strongly suggest that the region streamline its filing system by using a micro processor enabling business development staff almost instantly retrieve information for callers Established businesses will provide the biggest promotio nal boost for the region he added In order to enhance word of mouth public lions Mr Fischer said his department will be closely working with local chambers of commerce Bus in ess Improvement Area boards and special organizations like Acton In the future Mr Fischer stressed the region should be prepared to help these groups lend them manpower especially where there is regional as well as local benefit Anticipating workload of his department to Increase sharply within the
