Industrial Land DevelopmentThe City of Hamilton's Industrial Parks and Airport Development Division is committed to ensuring an adequate supply of "shovel ready" industrial lands. What exactly is a "shovel ready" industrial site? Basically, it's a site that already has the necessary designation, zoning, permits, and servicing/utility infrastructure in place. The Division is charting the course of action to achieve the desired supply of "shovel ready" industrial lands to provide the City with every opportunity possible to successfully allow industrial businesses to expand and relocate. This will be achieved through the successful cooperation of municipal departments, agenciesa and upper levels of government. The Industrial Parks and Airport Development Division is presently working towards servicing of the North Glanbrook Industrial Business Park along with other industrial parks and areas across the City, as well as prepering to undertake a comprehensive study of lands surrounding the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport as a potential employment growth district.
