LOCATION,LOCATION,LOCATION.

To start I need to point out that I support a Casino in Cambridge, but not in the area that the Government wants to put it. Do we need a casino in Cambridge? It depends on your point of view I suppose, yes it would bring in jobs and in the right location would help the City’s economy, but to place it out near Toyota would most likely help Kitchener more then it would Cambridge, because what is closer to that area? Hwy 8 and Hwy 401 that is what, and after pushing the buttons on the slot machines for a few hours people would head to the restaurants on hwy 8 or hit the 401 to go home leaving Cambridge virtually untouched. So the key component for me in this equation comes down to location,location,location and that should be in the City not on the outskirts. And where would that location be? How about on Pinebush Road at the old Canadian Tire Building, a location that is just off the 401, near many Hotels and an area that has vacant land that could be used for more parking(free at that). The possibility’s for that location are endless, they could combine a Weekend Package that includes The Casino, a Hotel Room and a show at Drayton Theatre, and with plenty of Restaurants in the area, throw in a meal as well. Could you get that out near Toyota? Well, maybe, but everything close would technically be in Kitchener and Cambridge would see little if any auxiliary income from the venture and is that not what this is all about? Politicians are elected to do what is right for their community’s and we need all of our Councillors on the same page putting pressure on the Provincial Government to change their boundary’s. Oh, and We also need Rob leone to spearhead this thing because Rob, we are gambling on you pulling your weight on this.
