Currently, the Region has no authority for indus- trial landbauking or to spend money for servicing industrial land. It can spend money for promotion "but that is quite a dil- ferent matter from being in the industrial land de- velopment business." noted Mr. Young. Regional and municipal officials plus private indus- trial representatives and land developers could be part of such a corporation. Mr. Young feels the best results "could emerge from a combination of govern- ment and private enter- prise." Mr. Young is considering recommending the estab- lishment of a Waterloo In- dustrial Development Cor- poration. combining gov- ernment and private enter- prise to map out the Re- gion‘s industrial growth.

" Waterloo. which general- ly has left industrial development to the private sector, has recently pur- chased 100 acres of indus- trial land "so there is po- tential for development in Waterloo for the next few years. '. Cambridge also has adequate industrial land available. Area municipalities, es- pecially the cities. have been in the industrial devel- opment business for some time. Boundaries have seriously limited industrial development opportunities for Kitchener and, to a less- er degree, Waterloo, wrote Mr. Young. . Also.

For example, industrial expansion in Cam- bridge could lead to an "in- flux of blue collar work- ers" without the correspond- ing residential and com- mercial assessment to im- prove the city's financial position. In 1976, over 54.000 peo- ple were employed in the mAuiacturini sector, a 38 per cent share of the em- ployed labor force, wiiich can brovide jobs clos- er to outlying communities, he wrote. Municipalities' views would be sought as well as comments from Regional review commissioner Wil- liam Palmer. The planning and development committee would make interim re- ports prior to a final re- port not later than April l, 1978. Mr. Young has recom- mended that the Region's planning and development committee consider estab- lishing a joint government- private sector committee and some forum of Co-opera- tive vehicle for industrial development.
