Staff to work on affordable housing, new parks, accessible taxis and more. This week, after months of presentations and debate, Halifax Regional Council unanimously passed its budget for the 2021/22 fiscal year. The grand gesture of the budget process exists to increase transparency around how Halifax spends its money. All told, HRM is gonna spend $833 million on services and programs; $178 million on building new stuff or restoring old stuff; and pay for it all with a combination of residential and commercial taxes, debt, revenue, COVID-relief money from the federal government, and a juicy chunk of money that came through Halifax’s hot-housing market and the deed transfer tax.
