Fred Street

Now that's a great idea. Really.

The City could cut a deal with McMaster to build whatever they need in order to be close to our public health staff and the citizens who use their services, and vice versa, on the parking lot that is part of the BOE property.

I think the economics would not be too far off. Mac pays the city for land, at an attractive rate if necessary, and builds its centre right downtown. The only reason McMaster mentioned condos, etc on the north parking lot is to generate revenue. Let's use Fred's idea to help them reduce their initial costs, both of acquisition and of development. They could even pay the city rent if they would prefer to be a tenant.

See, good ideas do indeed come from dialogue. And just in case anybody is wondering, I'm not being sarcastic at all.
