Resale values in downtown Dartmouth don't need a boost. Homes sell in a day or two at asking price or above. There are more buyers than sellers.
HRM planned to get $400,000 from the developer at Seagate but that plan is in the dumpster after he left town and put the land up for sale early this year. The 'For Sale' sign is no longer there and the lot is now a parking lot.
Tourism in DD is woeful; signage is almost non existent and cruise passengers wander around trying to figure out what they are looking at.
