To me, the NFB project seemed like an unusually important project because that site is so infamous. It is the poster child for the decline of the street, and must leave a very negative impression on visitors. A single derelict building can stick out in a person's mind and have a huge impact on first impressions.

As time goes by without news of the redevelopment I have less and less confidence that it will actually be built. Then again, there are many examples of projects in Halifax that were ultimately successful but took a long time to get off the ground. The city moves slowly and you can't write something off because a year has gone by.
