AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Drone Delivery: Amazon halted plans for drone service in Central Massachusetts after fierce local pushback, shelving a proposed new delivery option. Energy Investment: Massachusetts is weighing major power projects on two fronts: Gov. Maura Healey backed a $300 million gas expansion, while the state is also adding a 700-megawatt battery to help reduce costly peak-hour electricity. Business Costs: Boston Scientific is cutting jobs as it lowers its 2026 outlook, citing pressure on sales and profits. Commercial Real Estate: A private equity firm repurchased a Boston tower at a 68% discount after defaulting on its mortgage, underscoring pressure in the office market. Local Business: Boston is proposing zoning changes to make it easier to open and run restaurants, while the Healey-Driscoll administration awarded $10.5 million in grants to support manufacturing commercialization across the state.
