(Scenic Dr.) They should be forcing the hands of the developers to invest, renovate vacate building and build downtown in order to get people moving there instead, which will go a long way to help to revitalize the downtown? The mountain needs no help or more development. I just moved back to Hamilton after many years and am in shock at the state of the Ancaster landscape being raped and ruined by the hideous ‘Meadowlands Development’, and how the downtown has been left to rot. A downtown that used to be full of high-end retail and other businesses, but due a total lack of vision it has all but disappeared, yet with more potential than any ‘new development’ on the mountain could offer. When will it stop?
