CASTLEGAR NEWS, "Oued August 8, 1974 . Quadra Manufacturing Expands 53.000 Grant for Chain Plant A $63,000 ace expan- sion grant has been awarded to Quadra Manufacturing, the chain saw plant near ‘Trail, The announcement: was made by James Cameron, pres- Ident of the Kootenay Industri- al Development Association, “T ato) told by Quadra It...We have a pretty; good answer to that here, “Quadra and the new Care- free recreation vehicle plant at Genelle, now employ about 200 people, Those jobs wouldn't exist here without the grants, “The 200 jobs have gencr- ‘ated another 102 jobs in the that this grant, together with the Tecent six-month extension of DREE asit applies to this area, is encouraging Quadra to con- sider a further stage of expan: sion soon, “There are some who criti- cize the idea of giving grants to start new industry or to expand hers for 251 addition- al childrens clerks to handle - $700,000 more in retail sales, service men for 277 more cars and so on, “The government gets its money back very quickly from successful grants, For example, Quadra employees are paying about $30,000 per month in.

Ron Honey, a director from Rossland, also’ located a good prospect. In addition to these, Austin Fraser, our com: missioner, has some contacts which appear strong. One, which is quite interesting, is in the field of waste wood utiliza- tion.” Mr. Cameron said that when KIDA’ was formed ‘five years ago the directors were told by experienced people in the industrial development field that it usually takes. five years to start getting results. “We were also told that when an area can get two or three industries established © these act as ‘seeds’ and other. industry tends to follow. more © quickly. We seem to be ‘right on’ that timetable. “We appreciate patience which town and city councils have had in their support for KIDA. It is iriteresting to note Hypo-allergenicity as the goal for Almay cosmetics 4 itis well: known that that our work ‘has amounted to .. acost of one cent per person in’ the area per new job created, “Another measure of suc- cess is the fact that the 300 job total means that close to this number of young people didn't have to leave’ thelr homes’ to find work," Mr. Cameron’ sald. “As another point of inter- est, we find that 14 Quadra employees live in the Castlegar- Robson area, which. demon- strates the benefit of the ‘one unit’ concept of KIDA country, “ “It is not our objective to try to plug this valley with new. industry helter-skelter. But we must continue our effort to provide a reasonable growth trend; otherwise we face a return to the stagnation of the 1960's. This is important to people with families, to. home owners and to the maintenance of good business services,’ We must also. continue ‘to: reduce the almost total dependency, on Cominco for basic employment. 2 “In industrial development work,’ we can't ‘really: be! opti- mistic until someone) starts digging’ holes: for foundations. However we are hopeful that we will have new progress to report some time before 1974 is finished,") Mr.’ Cameron’ said.
