Wynn Resorts and the local government of outlying Boston city of Everett have created a new agreement to add two new hotels and a proposed Commuter Rail stop in the town.
Wynn Resorts owns Encore Boston Harbor, which opened in 2019 as one of only three casinos in the state of Massachusetts.
The two new proposed hotel properties wouldn’t offer gambling, but would provide accommodations for travelers and space for events and meetings. Wynn Resorts would also pay up to $25 million to fund a new commuter rail stop in the area.
The proposed hotels would be completed by 2028 in a best-case scenario.
According to CBS News, this agreement was Everett’s Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s last official act before leaving office.
"This agreement reflects years of work to ensure that any future development delivers real benefits for Everett residents," DeMaria wrote in a statement. "This agreement not only secures new sources of tax revenue, supports job creation and advances a long-anticipated commuter rail stop, but it also helps ensure that additional contaminated land is cleaned up and returned to productive use for our community."
The new mayor of the city, Robert Van Campen, will be looking at the new agreement closely.
“My goal is to maximize benefits for the people of Everett, and my hope is that my predecessor through due diligence did make that happen with these deals, but we are still looking at them,” said Mayor Van Campen.
Elkus Manfredi Architects, an award-winning architectural firm from Boston, has created an initial design for the development in Everett, but nothing seems to have been finalized as of yet.
