BOSTON – Mayor Marty Walsh on Wednesday named two city employees to key positions in his Economic Development Cabinet, to help bring new businesses to the Hub and assist those already established in the city.
Shaun Blugh becomes director of growth strategies while Lauren Jones moves up to director of business strategy. Danielson Tavares was also elevated to chief diversity officer to replace Blugh in that role.
BOSTON – "Red Square," as Boston's brick-paved City Hall Plaza is widely known, is often described as a windswept eyesore. While the public's low regard for the expanse has long been known, local officials may finally be giving it makeover.
Under a three-year deal with the city, the operators of the TD Garden arena will develop programs for year-round uses on the plaza, which may include a restaurant, a temporary "beach," an ice-skating "path" and a Ferris wheel, according to Mayor Marty Walsh's office.
