Somerville Loses Wynn Casino Appeal

Wynn is cleared to build on its 33-acre site across the Mystic River from Somerville.

SOMERVILLE, MA - Somerville has lost its appeal to block the Wynn Resorts casino from moving forward with its $2.1 billion project across the river in Everett, the Boston Globe reported today.

The Wynn Resorts casino secured a key victory today as a state environmental official granted a waterfront permit, the Globe reported.
