Attracting new industries into the county remained a challenge to 2000, and was exacerbated by a shortage of land suitable for industrial development. Through the 1950s, under the guidance of the Chief Planning Officer Frank Tindall, the County Council zoned land for industrial development at Haddington, Prestonpans and West Barns and attempted to encourage business re-location to the county and expansion of existing businesses. Plans to develop tourism in Dunbar emerged around the same time and tourism development was a constant feature in economic development plans from then on.
