PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. KICKOFF EFFORT FOR INDUSTRY* (Continued from page 1) personal calls an firms with 2S49 employees. The remainder of the local industries will be surveyed by mail. Hie survey is designed to find out what companies' current needs are and what can be done to help them stay and grow in McHenry county. According to DCCA's Fox, whose department has worked with local retention programs throughout the state, "The flow of information is two way. Many McHenry county em­ ployers have received solicitations from other cities and states. We want them to know Illinois and its com­ munities can provide the same kind of assistance offered by the Sun Belt." Morris said, "Most people don't think of McHenry county as a strong manufacturing county, but the truth is we have the highest percentage of workers involved in manufacturing of any county in the Chicago area. We already have a strong industrial base in electronic instruments, metal, finishing and electrical component assembly. With the information we gather through the retention survey we can help our existing businesses expand and try to attract com­ plementary industry to our area." He added, "The availability of cheaper labor, excellent tran­ sportation and the beauty of the county make it attractive to new in­ dustry. We want to market those assets, and the survey will help us do so." Morris said the data collected in the survey will be used to prepare a brochure and videotape to market the county nationally and worldwide. Director Fox said, "Local marketing efforts are the key to statewide economic development efforts. Through our Illinois, Inc. promotional campaign we are trying to sell the entire state, but in the final analysis it is the aggressiveness of communities which will determine whether we succeed or fail. After all a company doesn't expand or locate in a state, it's part of a community."' The retention survey is expected to he completed in early August with the final report submitted to the county board in mid-August ALBANESE ASKED HELP IN "TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE" (Continued from page 1) testified Monday his older brother had access to his food at the family business, Allied Die Casting Corp. of McHenry, in which the brothers were officers and their father the founder.

The complaint was filed on behalf of the plaintiffs, Philip, Lucy and LaVerne Giancola, Jerome and Kathryn Neri and Michael J. Rizzo. It stems from a denial by McHenry County board to reclassify agricultural- zoned land to estate district zoning on about 59 acres located on the west side of Harmony Hrtl road, north of Church road in Coral township The plaintiffs petitioned for ' the zoning reclassification to allow for one- acre homesites on the property. Following November and December, 1981, hearings by McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals, the zoning board recommended denial of the petition for amendment. The plaintiffs claim the March 23 County board denial of the amendment of the ordinance for the zoning change, was inconsistent with the use and character of the land in question. The lawsuit seeks a writ of injunction against the county fro to enforcing the agricultural zoning regulation with reference to the Harmony Hill road property. , The complaint states denial of the plaintiffs' application for rezoning was unlawful, unconstitutional and a violation of their rights. The county's zoning ordinance, adopted in 1979. requires a 160-acre minimum lot for improving the property with a residence in an A-} Agricultural district. The County board considered studies on its zoning and land use plans for several years before adopting the or­ dinance. which favors preservation 6f agricultural land. The ordinance has been challenged in court on four previous occasions arid the court rulings have all been in favdr of the county. Two of the cases have been taken to the Appellate court, and both decisions in favor of the county have been upheld.
