Mayor Bob Bratina leads Hamilton Economy as Fastest Growing in Ontario

The Hamilton-Burlington economy will be the fastest growing in 2012 among Ontario cities tracked in a new Conference Board of Canada report.
The region is expected to churn out steady growth of 2.5 per cent this year, thanks to increases in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and will match that on average over the next four years, according to the Ottawa-based research centre.

Manufacturing is forecasted to grow 4.5 per cent this year, following increases of 8.6 per cent in 2010 and 3.7 per cent in 2011. The board predicts 3.4 per cent growth through 2013-2014.

With all these positive numbers should Mayor Bob Bratina take credit for his plan and vision for the City of Hamilton and is this an indication of things to come?
