Issue Position: Suffolk Downs

Issue Position

My greatest concern for Suffolk Downs is making sure that those employees who have already lost their jobs, hundreds of whom are East Boston residents, have priority in the hiring process for future redevelopment.

There is great potential at Suffolk Downs. It's 162 acres of open space, accessible by two public train stations, the Boston Harbor and Chelsea Creek, sits along a major highway, and is five minutes from Logan Airport.

The redevelopment of Suffolk Downs could be transformative and a tremendous boost to our local economy. As your State Representative, I will work with all stakeholders to lead a transparent, community driven process that has a positive impact on East Boston.
