The Halifax Regional Municipality is coming up with parking incentives to help businesses recover from the pandemic and encourage residents to start visiting downtown areas on both sides of the harbour as the province reopens.
The total cost of the programs is $184,000. They include offering free on-street parking between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. AT on Thursdays and Fridays from June 17 to Sept. 11 where parking is permitted.
