Does Boston have the edge in the race for GE?
GE execs told Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh that a formal announcement will come Thursday. The deal was reportedly struck after a lengthy courting process, selling Boston as a hub for innovation, the Boston Globe reports. GE is looking specifically at the South Boston waterfront, including property owned by the Massachusetts Port Authority.
This could be the end of a saga that involved Atlanta until the metro area got nixed last year. [Globe]
