MetroWest leaders see sense of optimism with Biden-Harris administration
Experts who spoke with the Daily News believe the Biden/Harris team will champion policies that will benefit local residents.
The harmful effects of the coronavirus pandemic placed a severe strain on public-health resources, caused massive unemployment and highlighted ingrained inequities in communities of color.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have plans to address these pressing problems. But will they work? And what impact will they have in MetroWest?
The Daily News posed these questions to local experts in the areas of public health, the economy and social justice.
FRAMINGHAM The famed Framingham Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center was sold for $15 million at auction Tuesday.
People’s United Bank, which owns the first mortgage on the property, was the winning bidder of the iconic 376-room hotel that is designed to look like a castle and is visible from Rte. 9 and the Mass Pike.
“It was a buy-back by the mortgagee,” said Justin Manning, president of JJ Manning Auctioneers. “Nobody beat the lender.”
The facility could possibly remain a hotel or may be sold, said Manning.
The property, which includes the hotel and conference center, an outdoor pool and a 34,376-square-foot parking garage, was last assessed at $33.1 million, according to the Framingham Assessor’s Office.
