AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Housing & Development: Boston is pushing targeted tax abatements that could restart stalled projects, with a new program aimed at up to 1,400 apartments in Allston-Brighton and Charlestown, while housing advocates argue zoning and review delays still choke production. Local Governance: A separate report says “missing middle” housing reform isn’t enough because cities and towns can still use process levers to slow or kill projects. Construction & Real Estate: A new 19-story, 126-unit affordable tower at 41 LaGrange St. in Boston highlights accelerated building tactics and services for residents exiting homelessness. Public Safety Tech: Massachusetts police chiefs are split as more than 30 towns reject Flock license-plate readers over civil liberties and data-sharing fears, while some departments defend the cameras as an investigative tool. Energy & Climate Resilience: Boston’s coastline flood-risk planning gets a boost from a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study focused on protecting neighborhoods and infrastructure. Biotech: Cue Biopharma reports positive Phase 2 topline results for CUE-221 in chronic spontaneous urticaria. Workforce/Immigration Policy: Trump extends the $100,000 H-1B payment requirement through Sept. 2027 as legal challenges continue.
