Late Friday, state Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton signed off on the Wynn casino planned for Everett, removing a major hurdle for the project.
Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria was all woot woot:
Secretary Beaton's announcement today means more than just a significant milestone for this project. It is the validation of the planning, hard work and perseverance of everyone involved in making Wynn Everett a reality. The Wynn team has put forth an ambitious development that fully mitigates the impacts of their project. Their attention to detail and careful planning are the reasons I chose to work with them in the first place - and the reasons the MEPA Certificate was issued by Secretary Beaton today.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh asked where he's going to get the $175 million he says the casino will force the city to spend on fixing Sullivan Square and Rutherford Avenue:
I will work with the Baker Administration and my colleagues in federal and state government to ensure that adequate funding mechanisms are in place for a regional project of this magnitude. We will also coordinate with these partners to push for an accurate and expert-based transportation plan in order to fully understand and then mitigate this development's impacts on Boston's streets.
And don't worry, the city lawsuit continues.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!
