Legislature Approves $4B Economic Development Bill

The state legislature has given final approval to a bill that could lead to a pro soccer stadium on the Mystic River in Everett. 

 

The wide ranging, four-billion-dollar jobs package frees up the 43 acre property as the site of a stadium for the New England Revolution. 

 

That's one of many jobs related initiatives in the bill, which also includes millions of dollars for climate initiatives. 

 

Lawmakers yesterday also approved a clean energy bill that makes key reforms to siting and permitting of renewable energy projects.
