Make Way For the Big Trucks

Wynn Resorts has announced on Wednesday that equipment will roll in and workers will begin site preparation and pre-construction activities on the $1.7 billion Wynn Everett Resort at 10 a.m. Thursday.

The Wynn Everett casino project will include a five-star resort with more than 600 hotel rooms, high-end spa, retail, dining, ballroom and meeting space. Situated on 33 acres along the Mystic River, the site will allow for public enjoyment of the waterfront with paths that provide access to the harbor and retail and dining experiences that overlook the river walk.

The pre-construction work is starting less than two weeks after Wynn Everett received an important environmental certificate from the state, capping off a three-year public process.

Preliminary site work is a major step forward, according to company officials, in converting the contaminated former Monsanto Chemical Plant location into a five-star international destination resort complete with gleaming public waterfront park and picturesque shoreline.

“When the trucks start up that also means 4,000 construction jobs start up and the $1.7 billion five-star Wynn Resort in Everett begins to come to life,” said Robert DeSalvio, President of Wynn Everett. “Seeing equipment on the site is welcome news for the local workers, businesses and communities who will benefit from the wages, spending and taxes that Wynn will generate. This is the realization of what voters in Massachusetts overwhelmingly supported—a Wynn Resort in Everett.”
