Town eyes life sciences park around new hospital 7 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, July 9, 2009 Continued from page 1 residents leave the town to work each day. Goal one will also see a marketing plan developed and implemented to attract these desired businesses and the creation of a life sciences/technology park adjacent to the future Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, which will be located at the corner of Dundas Street and Third Line. The strategy proposes to establish the park on a 50-acre parcel of land located next to the future hospital, with the park featuring numerous offices, manufacturing and research facilities for companies involved in pharmaceuticals, medical devices and biotechnology. Life science products are expected to remain in high demand as advances in technology, research and development have combined with an aging baby-boom population to create an increase in spending on health care and prescription drugs, the strategy noted. Goal two will see the Town respond to the needs of the business community in order to foster business retention and expansion. To accomplish this the Town will offer assistance to businesses in navigating the development process for expansions, inform companies of funding and training programs at various levels of government and be in touch with the heads of companies to identify needs. In executing this goal the Town will also expedite the development of employment lands beginning with getting infrastructure in place for Winston Park West. Cultivating business relationships and keeping track of how competitive the Town actually is with regard to fostering business opportunities will also be priorities in this strategy. For the third goal, the Town will focus on exploring international business opportunities. However, as embarking of foreign trade missions to other countries can get expensive, Economic Development Department staff will first develop a plan outlining possible actions, benefits and costs. The Town will also be attempting to develop Oakville into an international hub for digital media and animation. The strategy noted that Sheridan College's digital media and animation program has already given it a global reputation, so there is the potential for Oakville to build related businesses and establish the town as a destination for work in this sector. The Economic Development Department has established timetables for achieving these goals and has received high praise from some of the local organizations needed to make them successful. "The three primary goals identified in the strategy are both realistic and responsive to Oakville's current economic circumstances and the global shift towards knowledge-based economies, while also proposing a bold vision to strengthen and expand the town's econom- ic base into the future," wrote Sheridan College President and CEO Dr. Robert Turner, in a letter to Mayor Rob Burton.
