Wynn Resorts spent $2.6 billion turning 33 acres of contaminated Mystic River industrial land into a hotel and casino, which opened on 23 June 2019. The site had to be remediated before anything could be built on it. It is the clearest example of what has happened to Everett's waterfront: a century of chemical works and tank farms traded for a resort and a harborwalk.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
