At 10,000 units, Suffolk Downs — the former horse racing track on the Boston-Revere border — will be the single largest housing development in the region’s history when it’s done. The first building will open this summer. But no more housing is underway here. Three years after Suffolk Downs won city approvals, there was supposed to be a lot more going on by now. Yet housing construction at the site is on hold until developer HYM Investment Group can hash out a complicated financing deal that has been pushed out of balance by an out-of-whack economy. The holdup is a reality plaguing housing developers across Greater Boston over the last two years. Read more: https://trib.al/VsPGIDm

NEW: Thousands of culverts and bridges in Massachusetts are too small to handle more intense rainstorms in a warming climate. But one innovative (if labor intensive) effort in the Berkshires is working to fix that! I followed along as volunteers climbed around in stream beds and inside of old pipes to record the measurements necessary to fix these pieces of critical stormwater infrastructure that support roadways. At least half of our culverts and small bridges are either structurally unsound, too small, or block wildlife from passing through. The scale of the problem is huge and financing little. But New Englanders have already seen what happens when stormwater infrastructure is overwhelmed: floodwater carves new paths through residential properties, damaging buildings and inundating basements. Road blowouts paralyze movement for days and pose a hazard to public safety. Here's how environmental groups in Massachusetts are working with local communities to slow down the destructive power of stormwater— and restoring ecosystems in the process! https://lnkd.in/gpfuj-bu #climate #climateresilience #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #climatechange #nature #ecosystem #newengland #localnews #environment #environmentjournalism #climatejournalism #infrastructure #climateadaptation #stormwaterinfrastructure #civilengineering #engineering #municipalfinance

On Sunday, 110 teenagers, almost all of them low-income, first-generation college students, will move into renovated dorms on a grassy hillside campus. They are the first class to enroll at Messina College, a new two-year undergraduate school run by Boston College on the former Pine Manor College campus. Among them is Michael Melo, a Roxbury teen who lives in public housing with his sister and supports himself with long shifts serving food at Mass General Brigham. “I never thought I would see myself going to college,” Melo said.

If the Democratic Party were a publicly traded company, writes Boston Globe Media financial columnist Larry Edelman, the mishandling of the presidential nomination process by its board of directors — the Democratic National Committee — would likely have sparked a revolt by investors. Edelman imagined how an activist investor might respond in his latest edition of Trendlines. Read it here. And subscribe for more Boston business news.
