i am no big fan of casinos, but it was brownfield redevelopment with residential/retail planned as well... why would that necessarily be worse? and it only took about 12 years to happen..

My point all along has been that it's futile to try to preserve these jobs indefinitely, especially when we have older facilities than the company has elsewhere, and a fraction of the workforce here we once did. Trying to preserve things on this particular spot of land for this particular company is likely going to be futile, and if we only have one steel company left employing people in Hamilton, then I think that we can maintain our history and move forward, especially with the geographic location of this piece of property. It would be far different if we were dealing with the other piece of land with other industrial in between it and current waterfront instead of just a little bit to deal with.
