West harbour stadium suitors offer cash

Posted July 29, 2010

The White Star Group is offering to put up cash to build a west harbour Pan Am stadium under a leasing agreement with the city.

The company said it is willing to build a retractable-roof stadium, providing the necessary capital beyond the $110 million slated to come from municipal, provincial and federal governments.

It's the latest salvo in the city-wide debate over where to put a 2015 Pan Am Games stadium, with the city backing the west harbour site and the Tiger-Cats pushing for an east Mountain location.

This is a city that has made very unfortunate choices in the past and is paying the price on all sorts of levels. As everybody knows Hamilton is in desperate need of its core/downtown to be returned to past glory. Here is an opportunity to do that--and more. We cannot let future generations shake their heads in shame at another botched decision. The Future Fund is OUR FUTURE. The Ticats are a part of this city but should not be holding it hostage for its own needs. This stadium and all its ancillary benefits belongs to the citizens of the city of Hamilton. Be forward thinking and don't be intimidated.
