Amazon HQ2: Boston prepped to pony up big-time on its Suffolk Downs bet
Boston’s Amazon HQ2 bid calls for nearly $1 billion in state and federal transportation improvements to make Suffolk Downs a suitable site for the massive campus — and promises to spend $75 million from development fees to bolster an already strained local housing market to accommodate 50,000 workers.
In the 214-page bid submitted last night, Boston says it will push the state to extend the Blue Line to Park Street, improve Route 1A, and add a commuter rail station, extend the Silver Line and add ferry service to Suffolk Downs. Those projects would require an estimated $812 million in state and possibly federal money.
