No one can read this overview and avoid noticing the implications. The three townships targeted for corridor and route planning for highway 7/8 contain many hugely important capital intensive farm operations. No municipality would seriously consider drawing up road plans to pave over the top of or wreak havoc on its established factories and existing industrial zones.
Urban businesses with sales receipts and capitalization on the scale outlined above are considered 'protected species'.
In our townships, agricultural business is our mainline activity. Multi-million dollar farm operations in North and South Easthope, Wilmot and Downie deserve the same respect for their contribution to economic life as their urban business counterparts and require the same sensitivity to its potential disruption.
