Numerous studies into aviation economics confirm that proximity is everything. The farther an airport is from a major urban centre (read: Toronto) the less successful it will be at attracting tenants.

I have to bring this point up because this is not Hamilton's problem. The city core is far closer to the airport than Toronto's core. That's one point to ponder.

Here's the other...
As I said in the last article, "if you build it, they will come," is not a good enough reason for building this and we certainly can't say that Mississauga developed because of the airport. There were a lot of factors involved with businesses deciding to move to Mississauga from Toronto.

But here's the real question: How can we get businesses to build their base in Hamilton? What do we need to do to move away from the industrial and progress into technological and commercial? My concern is that the right people aren't in place at city hall to welcome these businesses.
