for such a facility.

we are attempting to determine what will work best for the region"
The survey has 10 questions, and preliminary results of the survey will be presented at a series of consultations across the region
that will occur in the next few weeks. In order to achieve input from a large swath of the community, many groups have been contacted
to spread the word.
"We are very pleased to see developments occurring which will hopefully provide a path forward for the development of innovation in
the region" says Dennis Travale, Mayor of Norfolk County and Chair of the South Central Ontario Region (SCOR) Board of Directors. "The
development of an Agri-Food Innovation Centre is one of the key tenets of the SCOR strategy, and is aimed at supporting our strong
agricultural economic base and also to support the local farmer"
The survey can be found online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BQ8HTV8
