We spend a lot of time and money trying to attract new businesses to Chapelboroham. Witnees today's meeting in Chatham with yet another new plan to do just that.
I wonder if we lack focus in doing this.
Would it be better to think about where the proverbial hockey puck is headed, pick an "anchor" of sorts and really pursue it hard. If successful, then work to attract other people and businesses here who could feed off that first one in a logical manner. In other words, use the principles of the web's interconnectivity to try to achieve something similar on the ground.
Consider a field like the "news". Who could we attract here that could turn this into a media center in the way several countries in the Middle East have attempted to do? Maybe news gets expanded to media.
Consider medical information. Who could we attract that would make this the global center for digital medical information?
Surely, there is a long list of others. We need, it seems to me, to set up a priority list and then start with choice number one - go after that organization - and if successful, then flesh it out with other. If not successful, move down the list.
Who and what do we most want to attract here? What do we want Chapelboroham to be known for around the world?
