Peak Oil Report Crucial, Group Says

Leaders of a citizens’ group fighting Hamilton’s proposed 1,250-hectare aerotropolis industrial park are warning the city against going ahead without considering the possible impact of huge increases in the price of oil.

Michael Desnoyers, chair of Hamiltonians for Progressive Development (HPD), and co-chair Jack Santa-Barbara say they worry council will budget millions for the aerotropolis and approve an aerotropolis-based GRIDS development strategy without seeing a peak oil report commissioned last June.

GRIDS is the city’s Growth Related Integrated Development Strategy, a process to determine where the future growth of Hamilton will take place over the next 30 or more years.
