The Tillsonburg News — The newly-formed Port Burwell Business Development Association has come out in favour of efforts to bring a ferry to the municipality.
Bayham council last week received a letter from Port Burwell Business Development Association saying its members are “in favour of and in full support of the continued pursuit of the proposed ferry proposal into the town of Port Burwell.
“Further, that the members of the Port Burwell Business Association will provide positive participation to further the acquisition of a ferry service into our community.”
The resolution was passed unanimously by all members present at the meeting and president Ian Almond said they fully support the far-reaching and important proposed addition to their community.
Bayham council was somewhat surprised at the letter as several councillors weren’t even aware of the existence of the new group.
Almond told the News the business development association has been forming up over the fall and winter months and this was their first resolution.
“We had a similar group in the community several years ago but it went by the wayside.
“So then last year some of us decided we should form a new group. We have such a beautiful community with a lot of potential here and we feel we should do anything we can to promote it and bring new developments here,” Almond said.
“We keep looking at the potential of this area and we formed this organization to promote the area.”
At present, and Almond said it is still early, they have 18 members, and are still trying to get the word out. He said anyone interested in joining them can contact him at 874-1800.
“We are looking for more people who are interested in actively promoting and developing our community.”
Port Burwell Business Development Association meets the first Monday of each month. The meetings are held in different locations and for more information contact Almond.
