Wynn Boston groundbreaking by July; Mashpee Wampanoag pimp Taunton casino

Casino operator Wynn Resorts unveiled the design of its new Massachusetts project on Tuesday, complete with name change, an increased budget and a construction starting date.

Wynn boss Steve Wynn (pictured) summoned reporters to his company’s local office in Medford on Tuesday to survey a 3D model of the new project, which will now be known as Wynn Boston Harbor, replacing its old working title of Wynn Everett.

Wynn also announced that the project will likely break ground on July 1, reversing course from the company’s announcement a few weeks ago that the project was “effectively on hold” until it could resolve an environmental challenge by the mayor of neighboring Somerville.

Wynn now says he expects the courts to dismiss the legal “irritation” based on his belief that the suit raised “noting substantive.” Wynn insisted that his company was “done paying” local officials and not so obliquely referenced the company’s long legal tiff with Boston’s mayor, saying “if somebody had a hemorrhoid, we had to mitigate it.”
