Nice use of selective quotes and mis-direction. I said "Services for the local community and travellers (like the way the hotels support the airport) makes sense, the rest of it, why do we need 300K sf office at the bloody airport?" So yes I support that, if you actually care to read what I wrote.
300k sf is as much office space as the 2 Nova Centre towers will add up to. That is a lot of office. The presentation called for "destination retail". The is not about servicing employees and fliers. There is a huge difference between offering better amenities to travellers and creating a retail park that is competing with other retail areas.
The regional plan supports the airport, and amenities and expansion of the business park are all a-ok with me. Building a new DC when DC itself is still struggling is not an interest to me.
