EVERETT, Mass. (AP) — Wynn Resorts has removed nearly 1 million tons of contaminated sediment from the former chemical plant site where it's building a $2.5 billion Boston-area casino.

Besides cleaning the 33-acre site in Everett, the company also cleaned up the Mystic River over 18 months. Wynn says the higher costs come from "increased quality measures" as well as the addition of restaurants and other design changes.

Wynn says it will spend another $14 million creating a 6-acre harborwalk and park. Read more on NewsOK.com
