Sale of Everett power plant site could set the tone for city’s future

The 45 acres along the Mystic River near Encore Boston Harbor casino could soon be home to power lines, or perhaps a soccer stadium. 

For his part, DeMaria remains eager for redevelopment. He said NextEra might not need the whole property, and would perhaps share it with another user. As for a soccer stadium, DeMaria would like to see public transit improvements first, such as a Silver Line busway extension from Chelsea to Charlestown or a commuter rail stop on the line that passes through Everett. (At least plans are in the works for a footbridge across the Mystic from the Orange Line’s Assembly station in Somerville to the Encore casino.)   https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/08/business/sale-everett-power-plant-site-could-set-tone-citys-future/
