Carpenters Center wins final approval

The Boston Zoning Board of Appeals today approved NERCC plans for construction of the Carpenters Center, which will serve as the union’s headquarters at 750 Dorchester Avenue. The ruling follows the recommendation of the Boston Redevelopment Authority, which approved the project last week. The ZBA ruling is the final approval needed for the project to move forward. After a review and comment period, the project will begin, with demolition of the existing building expected to begin before the end of the year.
