I believe that the ship building contact will result in thousands of jobs in the HRM over the coming 20 - 30 years which will certainly boost confidence in the local economy. However, I don't think that it will be dramatic enough to result in an iconic stadium, LRT, and skyscrapers popping up everywhere. There is still a lot of work required before Halifax will have an Alberta-type or Ontario-type booming economy that can support thousands of immigrants a year.
