How does this proposal do that? I think that's precisely the problem, it requires big money for the facility with no solution for the contamination and other infrastructure requirements to execute the large scale brownfield redevelopment where the proposed facility is situated.
In fact, you could argue the public money required for CalgaryNEXT diverts money needed for cleanup and infrastructure and also displaces tax producing land needed to finance such debt.
