The proposed Indoor Velodrome in the West Harbour, Hamilton, Ontario

There are some similarities between Coatesville and Hamilton, both are steel producing cities and both are multi-ethnic ; however Coatesville’s population is about 12,000 and Hamilton’s population is about 647,634. Both Coatesville and Hamilton have suffered from a decline in the steel industry. Hamilton sits within a green belt much like Coatesville sits in the middle of the rolling countryside of Chester County. Like the City of Coatesville, the City of Hamilton is reinventing itself.

“We are the WHITE STAR GROUP: a Real-estate, Building & Design Development Group of Companies based in Hamilton Ontario.

Over the 13 years we have been assembling land in the West Harbour area with plans to develop in accordance with the visions set forth in the 1995 Official West Harbour Plan Study.  In 2005, we were encouraged by the passing of the official secondary plan which outlined in visionary terms the development of the West Harbour as a viable vibrant environmentally sensitive community area.  We have been witness to the harbour’s transformation.  We imagined, as many have done, the lasting legacy of such a development and were inspired to participate in this development with the city and private investors who envisioned the huge potential of such a destination point.” FROM:
