This idea will be included in the draft Greenest City Action Plan. A Green Enterprize Zone team is establishing an area and some initial projects including two business incubators, specific infrastructure and demonstration projects.
An error occurred while saving the comment I think this is a tremendous idea, IF the GEZ (as you've called it) or more broadly an SEZ (Special Economic Zone) is tailored to LOCAL, small-medium scaled enterprise, and especially focused on creating a self-sustaining local economy. This could be a way to kick start and propagate renewables, local agriculture and food production (food security is a huge issue) among many others. It would also announce clearly to Canada and the World that we're serious. We could design and implement the first of its kind, tailored to the local. It could be a broad way to address many of the GCATs goals for the city.
