$2B Mass. General expansion wins green light from Boston

As part of the project — which would add beds and facilities to treat cardiac and cancer patients at Mass. General's main campus — the hospital has agreed to build an entryway to a potential future MBTA Blue Line station and improve sidewalks and bike lanes along the busy stretch of Cambridge Street. Mass. General also pledged financial support to a variety of West End and Beacon Hill civic institutions and to turn over a hospital-owned building for use as affordable housing.
