The review, done by Arie Ashkenazy & Associates of Toronto, comes two days before Cameco releases a report showing the economic impact of its operations on the economy of Port Hope. “There’s no doubt Cameco, as a major employer and taxpayer, contributes a lot to our economy, but what is the cost?” said FARE president John Miller. “That is why we are releasing this report, so that fair-minded citizens can assess both the costs and the benefits and make up their own minds.” FARE is not calling for Cameco to relocate. But to assess the true cost of Cameco occupying most of our waterfront, it asked Ashkenazy & Associates to consider other development possibilities on the site. The report concluded the following: Cameco’s presence on the waterfront has had a negative impact on property values, population growth and commercial and industrial activity. The waterfront is the most promising area for residential and commercial development in the municipality. If Cameco was not located there, development of a cleaned-up waterfront could, over the next 10 to 15 years, result in the creation of 1,000 jobs, $3.7 million in residential taxes, and $2.5 million in commercial taxes (a total of $6.2 million). »Click Download Word Document above to read the full report Lakeshore Road residents should be applauded Why is broken pipe contaminating lake?
