Economic Development Organization: Halifax

Halifax: Focus on stuff that gives the best return, Fred Morley said in an interview Thursday. Businesses make those choices every day, according to The Chronicle Herald. The index put Halifax in the middle of the six-city pack and Government economic policy should focus on winners, says the Greater Halifax Partnerships executive vice-president and chief economist. The economic development organization recently released its 2013 Halifax Index, which compared Halifax to St. Johns, N.L., Quebec City, London, Ont., Regina and Victoria on the basis of several indicators, including population growth, GDP, quality of life and sustainability.
