Troy Young announces candidacy for local seat for Ward 3 Mr. Troy Young, former publisher af the Orona Weekly Times, has announced his candidacy for the local seat for Ward 3 in the upcaming municipal elec- tions. Troy Young Mr. Young lived in Bowmanville in his early years before maoving ta Orono in 1978. He attended school in Newcastle and Bowmanville, and received an Honours Degree fram York University. Presently he is the vice-president of Sonbon Homes and President ai the Newcastle- and District Chamber of Commerce. He and his wife Lisa loak forward ta many prasperous years in Clarington. Mr. Young has been very active in the community. In 1996, he chaired two public meetings in Claringtan. The first was between MPP John OToale and the Municipality af Clarington regarding the GTA; the second was between John O'Toale and trustees from the Northumberland- Claringtan School Board. He has also actively helped the Big Brother's of Clarington in their fund raising efforts, leading the Orono Weekly Times in its back-to-back wins in the Newspaper Challenge for the Bowl For Millions Campaign, as well as designing and praviding T- shirts for the event. Recently, Mr. Young was the maderator at the federai ail-candidates' ,meeting held in Newcastle.' Clarington is the fifth fastest growing region in Canada. One anly has ta look at the new housing develop- ments and businesses that have already sprung up around Claringtan. "We must be careful ta ensure that this new development is beneficial ta the municipaiity," said Mr. Young. "If they are not care- fully planned, we will only be causing a number of prob- lems that will need ta be deait with in the future." His time at the newspaper gave Troy insight inta the problems facing Claringtan. "We need ta break dawn the barriers that presently exist and convince new business that Clarington is the place- ta lacate," said Mr. Young. "One thing that would help this is 'the hiring of an Economic Development Officer who is dedicated sole- ly ta the purpose of aiding business in Claringtan. Not only would such an individu- ai help Clarington attract new business ta aur cammunity, but wauld also work with aur existing businesses ta see where the municipality could assist them." Having had contact with a variety of busi- nesses throughout Claringtan, as well as being Newcastle Chamber of Commerce President, Mr. Young knows that the busi- ness community would wel- came such a move. New busi- ness is required ta heip take care of the imbalance that exists in the tax assessment. "Presently in Clarington, the residential ta comm- ercial/industrial assessment is roughiy a 85%/i15% split. That means that of the fax money Clarington receives, 85% is born on the backs of residents. A better split would be in the neighbour- haod of 754/25%. The only way this will happen is to attract new business ta the area. An EDO would be instrumental in this task. " A strang and thriving business community wiii generate new jobs and tax dollars for the community. Mr. Young feels that he is in a position ta be a benefit ta Clarington Council. "My business dealings have taken me ail over the municipality. 1 operated a business in Orana; I attended schooi in Newcastle and Bowmanville. I know people ail across the municipality. I cansider myseif ta be a resident of Clarington first and foremost and look beyond the regianal- ism that exists. I arn familiar with the prablems that exist in aur urban areas, yet 1 also have a kinship ta the rural areas in Ward 3. My experi- ences will be a benefit ta both my rural and urban con- stituents.' I amn committed ta mak- ing Clarington the best com- munity it can b 'e, anc we can ail be proud to alaU ur home."
