SOMERVILLE – The $1.7 billion casino development in Everett has stalled, and leaders of the Wynn Resorts project blame Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone, who is challenging a permit to clean up the contaminated 33-acre Mystic River waterfront site.
The $30 million remediation of the acreage which formerly held a Monsanto chemical plant, began in October. Wynn officials say that the project was progressing until the Somerville appealed the permit for the site work. The action blocked further work, the developers said in a statement on Tuesday.
BOSTON – The first-ever comprehensive plan to help people start and grow smaller businesses in Boston was announced Wednesday by Mayor Marty Walsh.
With 40,000 small companies in the city, the small business plan will act as a guide to support services and resources for entrepreneurs as they get established.
