I'm looking forward to this blog series and the evolution of McMaster's involvement in the Hamilton Community. Hopefully this series has some blogs dedicated to the economic impact McMaster has on the city. As a resident of the downtown core it's exciting to see the construction of their new Health Campus on Main and Bay, and to hear the news surrounding their downtown office relocation into Jackson Square. Their presence downtown will help increase downtown foot-traffic and bring all its related benefits. As a recent graduate from McMaster's Degroote School of Business I was initially very upset about their decision years ago to build the MBA campus in Burlington. I understand the chosen location allowed them to expand their market with easier highway access, but I still like to imagine how the downtown would look today if one of the numerous eye-sore parking lots were transformed into a modern MBA campus bringing professors and future young professionals into the core. Sometimes I like the think the recent commitment to the downtown is to compensate for that decision.
