@justsaying, I agree with you there. I don't fault the city at all for choosing WH, but certainly sitting down with the ticats and going through some numbers the city has based on attendence and what they will charge for rent perhaps they could come up with a case for BY. If BY comes back with different numbers that show a loss, well then now its discussion time.

In doing so perhaps they would have (or still can) come up with some other incentives, such as a parcel of tax free land for BY close by to start Bob World, a parking surcharge on all lots that goes directly to the TiCats on gameday?

Perhaps they had the first part of the discussion and it got them no where.

At the end of the day the way I look at it is that is is the cities job to entice business to Hamilton. Just because a company already exist's in the city does not mean the effort should be any less. If the business is struggling for a suitable location and the city thinks it has one (yes yes, I know its a free location..) then it should be doing its best to sell that location to the business.

Of course if the business wont listen, nuts to them (which is where we are now).
