Since the region has hosted a major sporting event recently, 2015 Pan Am Games, there's a lot of venues Hamilton wouldn't need to build such as velodrome, rowing, etc. The track and field can be a temporary venue to save the cost. Most of the cost for venues would probably be to renovate existing venues such as Tim Hortons Field (perhaps an open roof), Convention Centre, Hamilton Place and Copps.
From the sounds of it, they'll propose a new Athletes Village in order to gain more support from council. Sam Merulla wants more affordable housing and this fits in.
