Hamilton on jobs
The job market is very competitive, And we as a council new that we had to lay the foundation for new job creation. Our first order of business was establishing an area of industrail zoned, and then bringing the infrastructure of water and sewer to this area, We then aggressively sought out potential companies and our first success was a 35 acre SCE plant that will employ upto 200 employees at approximatley $35 an hour. We have several other companies negoitiating with us at present. We also created a zone for major retail outlets and have been able to establish a 640000 sq retail outlet that will create approximately 800 new jobs. This will benefit the city in sales tax dollars, and also the convenience of not leaving the area to do our shopping. As you can see the present council has been very proactive in job creation and new shopping opportunities.
