As you may be aware the decision to move ahead and continue assessing the Airport Economic Growth District (AEGD) was passed by Hamilton City Council on June 24th 2010. This is an important step in the process of finalizing a plan for the land surrounding the airport which we feel is integral to the future of Hamilton. It will offer prospective organizations an attractive location for business looking for multi modal transportation and access to the largest Southern Ontario catchment area. There will now be a period of public consultation before City Council makes an approval decision in October 2010. We hope at that point to be actively promoting the benefits of locating businesses in Hamilton near the airport. If passed, adoption of the infrastructure proposal will likely take 2 more years before development gets underway. The AEGD is a priority in the City’s GRIDS initiative. It is vital that Hamiltonians recognize the potential of AEGD on Hamilton’s economy in terms future job creation & prosperity. Furthermore, it is important that we collectively tackle each AEGD hurdle as quickly as possible. Other communities in Southern Ontario are aggressively attracting business to their communities and we have to be careful that we do not lose out to them.
