From CBC Nova Scotia:

The federal government has forked over $20 million to the Halifax Regional Municipality after a long-standing battle over taxes owed on Citadel Hill.

Last year, a federal panel valued Halifax's Citadel Hill at $41.2 million in the decades-long dispute between the city and the federal government.

"I'm delighted that we have addressed this outstanding issue," Halifax Mayor Mike Savage said in a statement on Friday.

"The municipality will now have the opportunity to invest that money toward the betterment of our region as a whole."
