It appears the city and province could be arguing over the new convention centre for some time.
Metro Halifax reports that while the city has agreed to fund the new facility regional, councillors were unanimous about refusing to waive property taxes.
The question of buying the old convention centre is also off the table.
Premier Darrell Dexter has said the province won’t sign off on the new facility until the sale of the old one is finalized.
Bedford councillor Tim Outhit says the two are separate issues.
Neither the mayor nor Infrastructure Minister Bill Estabrooks would comment on pending negotiations.
