Next spring, MetroX buses will be zipping out to the airport.
Last night, Halifax regional council approved a contract with Nova Bus for nine 12-metre buses at a cost of $3.7 million. Halifax International Airport Authority kicked in $550,000 for the service.
Council can purchase six more buses in the second year of the contract for $2.5 million to expand the service.

I wonder if the Hotel is going ahead thanks to the shipbuilding announcement? I can see a lot a of projects going ahead now thanks to the new confidence in our local and regional economy.
