The city has approved $2 million to begin an ambitious strategy to redevelop its neighbourhoods, starting with the communities, identified in the Hamilton Spectator Code Red series, which are in dire straits.

Paul Johnson, the new director of the city’s neighbourhood development strategy, said his department will select at least two neighbourhoods to partner with and begin implementing the city’s plan this year. The idea is to continue this project over the next five years.

“The plan is holistic,” said Johnson. “It will take into account the physical, culture, social, human and environment (of the neighbourhood). The time for talk is over.”

Johnson said he would like to have the two neighbourhoods selected within the month, with action beginning sometime later this summer. An additional two to three other neighbourhoods could also get involved, he said. Eventually, Johnson would like to see the city’s neighbourhood development strategy integrated into all of Hamilton’s neighbourhoods.
