Big Box at Aberdeen and Longwood - DEAD

[raisethehammer]

I'll post more info tomorrow, but a developer is taking the city to the OMB in January in an attempt to have some of the Innovation District converted to big box retail zoning.
It's the same folks currently building at Clappison's Corners.
Obviously the Innovation Park/District is poised to help lead the turnaround in Hamilton. It's landlocked with no further room for expansion, so it would seem to make no sense to convert some of these lands for big box retail. We need the high paying, new economy R&D jobs planned for this district. Not more minimum wage fast food and retail jobs.
Stay tuned.
