Statement by Brandon Corbett
I moved to Hamilton from Rochester N.Y. to attend McMaster University ten years ago. I urge the city council not to make the same mistakes Rochester made by failing to invest in city infrastructure. Downtown Rochester is a ghost town because downtown businesses could not compete with newer ones in the suburbs. One prime example of this is the Midtown Mall (once a major Rochester attraction) which closed in 2008 due to lack of customers. In my opinion, the LRT is ESSENTIAL to keep downtown businesses viable (such as those in Jackson Square Mall). We need this Hamilton.
