MEDFORD, MA-The Massachusetts Highway Department has allocated $12 million to improve the road infrastructure in the Telecom City project, a 200-acre, $750-million development located here and in Malden and Everett. The money is a result of a 1994 transportation bond bill and Mass Highway is currently taking bids on the project.
“It’s a major boon for the project,” Deborah Burke, marketing director for Telecom City, tells GlobeSt.com. “It will enlarge and enhance the roads and will give greater access to the site.” Burke also notes that the allocation underscores the partnership Telecom City has with the state. The state has committed a total of $50 million to infrastructure improvements for the project as well as $10 million to assist in acquiring property for the City.
