Devens

A 58-unit affordable living facility has opened in Devens to seniors 62 and up.

MassDevelopment and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources announced last week financing is now available for funding energy improvements on commercial, industrial and multi-family buildings, as well as buildings owned by nonprofits. 

A Boston development firm has paid $2.7 million for a site in Devens housing an office building and acres of additional development space.

Out of an abundance of caution, Worcester Business Journal has decided to reschedule the Business Leader of the Year event and WBJ Hall of Fame induction ceremony, due to concerns over the coronavirus.

WBJ's oldest award, started in 1982, continues the tradition this year with winners from places like Table Talk Pies, Abby's House, 1854 Cycling Co., Ed Hyder's Mediterranean Marketplace, and Little Leaf Farms.

Worcester Business Journal publishes a podcast every Monday called The Weekly Business Report, a forward-looking news segment designed to make Central Massachusetts business professional informed about what is going to happen in the local economy.

One bill filed last year by Sen. Jason Lewis (D-Winchester), would require any public company headquartered in Mass. to have at least one female board member by the end of 2021.

Little Leaf Farms, the Devens food manufacturer, said Wednesday it has received $38 million in financing from Bank of America, as it plans expansions in Devens, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Thanks to a $4.2 loan from Eastern Bank, a biomedical device factory at Devens will be expanded by summer.

We ended up getting half right and half wrong.
