| Jenkinson, Kim | Yes | Yes, I support the development of the airport and the land around it for business use, NOT for residential development. The Hamilton Airport could be a major asset to attract business and jobs to Hamilton, both for importing and exporting goods. Business needs access to a variety of transportation: this would give Hamilton access to air, water, rail, and highway transportation and gives us a competitive edge that few cities can match. |
| Whitehead, Terry | Yes | Investors and businesses need choices in acquiring suitable lands for their business'. Residential tax payers have carried the burden to long and if we want to address this problem we must create a greater opportunity for investment in our community. Our brownfield policies and development are still important for the appropriate investor. |
