Passengers Stranded at Logan Airport Amid Nationwide Ground Stop

Passengers at Boston's Logan Airport were left stranded due to a nationwide ground stop that halted air travel across the United States. The abrupt freeze in flights disrupted travel plans for countless individuals, including Peter and Maria Silletti, who were attempting to fly to North Carolina for their daughter's college cheerleading final game. Many passengers, like the Sillettis, resorted to alternative travel methods such as renting cars for long drives. Nick Benton, another stranded passenger, faced the possibility of missing his grandfather's funeral in Florida. The flight status boards at Logan Airport showed numerous delays and cancellations, leading to frustration and uncertainty among travelers. Governor Maura Healey stated she had been briefed on the situation and was seeking answers from federal officials.

Boston Advances Office-to-Residential Conversions and Adjusts Zoning Policies to Boost Housing Supply

Boston's Planning Department has recommended and approved several initiatives aimed at increasing housing availability and supporting commercial development. A key component is Mayor Wu’s Office-to-Residential Conversion Program, which has facilitated the transformation of 35 buildings, totaling 2.1 million square feet of empty office space, into over 2,420 new homes since its launch in 2023. Notable projects include the conversion of an 11-story office building at 140 Providence Street into 476 new homes, with 95 designated as income-restricted, and a five-story commercial building at 105 Beach Street into 15 residential units. Additionally, the city is adjusting its Inclusionary Zoning policies, extending payment schedules for affordable housing contributions, and reducing the condominium payment-in-lieu fee to encourage more residential projects. Linkage fees for commercial developments, which fund affordable housing and job training, will also remain frozen at current levels for 2027 due to economic fa...

First Season Freeze Follows Northeast Storm This Weekend

A strengthening storm will bring rain to major Northeast cities, including Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, through Saturday.
