A consultant–prepared “financial/economic impact analysis” says it will cost $351 million to service the airport employment growth district (AEGD), but that doesn’t include several key infrastructure elements including sewage treatment upgrades and the trunk sewer and water lines connecting the aerotropolis to the Woodward Avenue treatment facilities 25 kilometres away. The upbeat report argues that the controversial 2,050 acre development will attract nearly 25,000 jobs and produce over $50 million a year in tax ‘profits’ by 2031.
