Whereas the downtown MTSA is anticipated to grow considerably by 2051 characterized by high-density mixed-use development and higher order transit, which will increase commerce and visibility; 5.

Whereas the City of Brampton purchased several properties in the downtown to build infrastructure in support of that long term growth but has generally resulted in less revenues and memberships for the Downtown Brampton BIA; 7. Whereas increasing the size of the Downtown Brampton BIA boundary to generally mimic the MTSA will lead to more opportunities for memberships and increased revenues to use towards activating and marketing the downtown; and, 8. Therefore, be it resolved that in accordance with the Municipal Act, staff give notice of the proposed modified Downtown Brampton BIA boundary,
