Hamilton city council is moving ahead on waterfront development and approved spending $39.17M (between now and 2018) in infrastructure to set the stage for future investment. Mayor Bob Bratina took a trip to neighbouring American cities who are facing similar challenges to glean some information on what is working, and what is not working, for industrial/commercial waterfronts. Bratina says he wants to ensure the right balance will be struck for recreational, commercial and residential use to optimize the economic benefit of the waterfront.
