she called them and they said there was no such questionnaire, but in the
next few weeks they would issue booklets about all the different businesses
in town.
Mrs. Brown said that it would be like a skill bank, you'd send a brochure
out and anyone that's living in the Edgewater, New Smyrna area would fill
it out and let us know what they are qualified to do and who is available.

Mr. Siciliano stated that on August 7th he wrote a letter to the Southeast
Bank in Miami. Mr. Walters tried to get in contact with them and there
has been no word back from them at this time. We need more industry here
in Edgewater and we would like to open up this land for industrial uses.
If we cannot get this land, we w~ll just have to abandon this, unless we
can come up with another approach.

City for possible industrial and or commercial development.
