Wynn Resort's plans for a casino in Everett received a needed environmental permit from state officials on Friday, according to statement.

Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Matthew Beaton signed off on a 10,000-plus page report that details the environmental impact and planned remediation efforts associated with the five-star, 33-acre project. In addition to fulfilling requirements established by the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, Wynn's Environmental Impact Report culminates a 30-month process and is the most important and comprehensive environmental permit required before Wynn can start land remediation and construction.

The 33-acre Wynn Resort in Everett will be the largest private single-phase development in Massachusetts' history. It is $1.7 billion project that will include a five-star resort with more than 600 hotel rooms, high-end spa, retail, dining, ballroom and meeting space. Situated on 33 acres along the Mystic River, the site will allow for public enjoyment of the waterfront with paths that provide access to the harbor and retail and dining experiences that overlook the river walk. The resort will generate more than 4,000 construction jobs, more than 4,000 permanent jobs with excellent salaries and benefits and approximately $260 in annual tax revenue to the state.
