Although the two are not directly linked, one can only think that the agreement (finally) will have a positive impact on our market here in Halifax. The further news that Irving will not only build the ships, but also serve as the prime contractor, will surely have some investor tongues wagging. So, the shipyard will start with the first six vessels, projected to start in the fall, and will employ approximately 2,400 workers at the peak of construction. With that kind of worker demand, it will no doubt impact all products of the real estate market as the company reaches out to fill the numerous positions. Until then, we can keep an eye on our apparently improving market, and hope that the trend sticks around for the long haul! ![]() WEEKLY ADOGTABLE Luna is a 3 year old fun-loving, friendly, compact 66lb, wiggly butt AmStaff looking for a home with a breed experienced family.
