Plans to expand South Boston convention center underway with approval for land purchase funds

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority is reviving efforts to expand the Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in South Boston, while broadening its business model to plan its own meetings aimed at Boston’s fast-growing industries.

 

On Thursday, interim executive director John Barros took an important step toward expanding the 22-year-old convention center by securing board approval to use $55 million to relocate an adjacent state highway facility, as well as other land acquisition needs.

 

Barros does not yet have formal plans or cost estimates for the addition. He plans to hold business and community meetings, working with outside consultancy Deloitte, to come up with a proposal by the end of the year. The quasi-public authority would then, in early 2027, file a bill to secure the Legislature’s approval to issue bonds that would pay for the expansion.

Springfield’s MassMutual Center to see $93 million in upgrades

State officials announced a $93 million, five-year package of upgrades to the MassMutual Center, calling it a commitment to the economic development of the city and to keeping the successful minor league Thunderbirds Hockey team in Springfield.

 

The upgrades, announced Thursday, include some improvements that are underway, such as a refurbished concession area. Other improvements that are important, but less visible to visitors, include work to the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, as well as the fire alarm and sprinkler systems.

 

“This historic investment will modernize the facility, improve accessibility, enhance the experience for visitors and ensure the MassMutual Center remains a destination for conventions, sporting events, concerts and community gatherings for years to come,” Gov. Maura Healey said.

"The champion of this department was Levy Restaurants, an event and catering company associated with Hynes Convention Center. Levy’s cupcakes were basically beyond words. I’ve never tasted a better crafted cupcake in my entire 26 year-cupcake-eating-life."
