Joe Ramia has received approval from the Halifax regional council to partly start construction on a new convention centrein Halifax, Nova Scotia, reports Daily Business Buzz.
The design of the Nova Centre has changed considerably as a result of public consultations held from July to December 2012, according to a staff report. Developer Joe Ramia will need amendments to the downtown planning regulations before moving ahead with construction.
Approval could take up to eight months, threatening to derail plans to host conventions in January 2016.
