Tylersville Road/Enterprise Park Gateway Hamilton is committed to making a gateway into Hamilton Enterprise Park from Tylersville Road worthy of an international company headquarters. At the entrance to the park from Tylersville Road, we propose to create gateway entrance similar to that found at the northern entrance to the park at Hamilton-Mason Road. Additionally, we are aware that Tylersville Road is in need of improvements and have identified it as a infrastructure project to be completed within the first year of company’s operation. The City is committed to the professional aesthetic appeal of the business park and surrounding area, and thus will utilize our land bank and other means available to the city bring about conformity to adjacent properties.

The current entrance will see street improvements and new gateway signage like that featured at the northern entrance to the park.
