My guess is that deadline will slip as there are bound to be complications in figuring out how to build a new building behind the old NFB facade. The whole development is contingent on the engineers not finding that, after 22 years, the facade is too far gone to save. If that turns out to be the case, than Keith may still get his wish.

given what they have been able to do with other old brick and stone facades in Halifax, I expect that they should be able to keep the facade. It is too bad that the sandblasting that was done decades ago messed up the detailing on the building
