Brantford市议会寻求省级帮助,将机场所有权从县到市转移,以促进经济发展。
Brantford city council seeks provincial help to transfer airport ownership from county to city to boost economic development.
Brantford市议会敦促省政府将Brantford市机场的所有权从Brant县移交给该市,理由是经济发展停滞不前以及财产税和开发费收入损失。
Brantford city council is urging the provincial government to transfer ownership of the Brantford Municipal Airport from the County of Brant to the city, citing stalled economic development and lost revenue from property taxes and development charges.
虽然该市经营机场,但该县拥有土地,导致议会辩称,在谈判失败后需要省级干预。
While the city operates the airport, the county owns the land, leading council to argue that provincial intervention is needed after failed negotiations.
在最近的一次会议上,议员们投票表决了8-2,要求罗布·弗拉克部长任命一个委员会来探讨转让问题,这样就可以开发40英亩利用不足的土地。
At a recent meeting, councillors voted 8-2 to request that Minister Rob Flack appoint a commission to explore the transfer, which could unlock development of 40 acres of underutilized land.
反对者建议使用城市-县联络委员会代替,但被否决,因为未经事先协议,该委员会缺乏权力。
Opponents suggested using the city-county liaison committee instead but were overruled, as it lacks authority without a prior agreement.
