Dexter needs to do three things:
1. Recognize that a stadium in Halifax is good for all of the province just like the convention centre is.
2. Support the stadium project by committing $20 million immediately.
3. In addition to the $20 million committing, the province should create some sort of venture capital fund with a tax credit and allow private investment to occur.
If the Shannon lands were available then the stadium could be part of a much larger project. Perhaps some of the PMQ's could be converted to affordable housing or maybe BIO could expand with more research facilities another dock/ferry terminal and a real aquarium. The possibilities are endless at this site and the more Dexter balks at this opportunity the more he shows his true colours. By not supporting this he is showing he is not a forward thinker and should move aside at let some real thinkers take the reins.
