What does a Town do when both its major public and private sector employers close shop around the same time?
The town dies, people leave in the search for work, the community is destroyed and its people demoralized.
This is what happened to Ararat in the early 1990's.
All up, roughly one thousand public sector jobs were lost from the closure of the Psychiatric Hospital, the Railways and Telecom.
A downturn in manufacturing was also the deathknell for the town's biggest private sector employer, Packard/CTA.
