BOSTON – A planned apartment tower near TD Garden in the West End won approval from the city's development agency Thursday, capping a nearly six-year effort to create hundreds of new apartments in the neighborhood between North Station and Massachusetts General Hospital.
The scaled-back project calls for a slightly shorter tower, at 447 feet high, and fewer parking spots, according to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, which gave its approval at a Thursday evening meeting. The $350 million building will house about 470 apartments and underground parking for 775 vehicles instead of 830.
STATE HOUSE — Arguing that the debate over expanding access to charter schools in Massachusetts has been characterized by misinformation and misleading statements, charter supporters on Friday launched a new campaign they say debunks myths about the schools.
The center of the "Fact Check: Public Charter Schools in Massachusetts" campaign is a new website, unveiled Friday, that showcases research and data analysis supporting charter schools.
