However, Wynn decided to put the permitting process on hold to “do some reassessment” of whether the proposed development is the best use of the site.
Delaney said on this week that Jacqui Cram, senior vice president and general counsel at Encore Boston Harbor, told him that the casino company was now “ready to go.”
He said that Cram indicated that Wynn had scaled back the planned size of the entertainment establishments to less than 1,000 seats.
