Historically a lot of people like the lifestyle that the East Coast offers but ended up elsewhere because of job opportunities. If Halifax does develop one of the best economies in the country then it will have a lot of drawing power. It is not a huge stretch to think of Halifax playing the kind of role that cities like Austin do in the US.
I'm interested to see how the new money will fuel other aspects of the city, like its cultural offerings.
