Heard on radio, actually, before looking it up.

Building a casino on Boston Harbor has been a big negotiation process. Looks like it might actually happen although some permits and permissions are not official yet.

This is what made me do a double take:
The company (Wynn) is using the site of a former Monsanto Company chemical plant. The construction process will include digging up an estimated 500,000 tons of polluted soil, and having it trucked away to officially designated (don't know how) landfills in other states and across the border to Quebec.
