Airport Employment Growth District Secondary Plan

The AEGD provides the opportunity to create a new employment area which improves live-work opportunities and helps meet provincial employment targets for the City. It supports the existing John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport as important infrastructure and as an economic driver, supports long-term prosperity, contributes to quality of life, and establishes a gateway for economic and goods movements for the City.

In particular, the AEGD is intended to offer a range of employment and employment-related land uses in the context of an eco-industrial park, which provides for prestige industrial, light industrial, airport-related business and institutional development as well as an environmental footprint that is managed through a range of urban design and eco-friendly sustainable design techniques. All of which allows for the development of land uses consistent with the character of surrounding lands.
