I think Jason is right on his assessment. Regardless of what I think of this location, Young is interested, and the city has a way to keep the Tiger Cats in Hamilton and use land that meets most of the criteria they have set out for their Future Fund. Not the best thing for MIP, but certainly better than the East Mountain or Confederation Park for the city.

This location is not greenfield, has ready access - highway and public transit, good visibility, doesn't impinge on residential sensibilities, doesn't require huge infrastructure upgrades...this site seems like a realistic compromise as opposed to the alternate site of the East Mountain. Hopefully McMaster will use the landswap to do some development downtown as well, and then a further goal of meaningful employment in the core will be met as well. But I'd still like to know if it's north or south of Aberdeen...
