Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has signed the "Act Relative to Economic Development Reorganization". The Act contains many provisions, including the sales tax holiday, abolishment of the Massachusetts Health and Educational Facilities Financing Authority, and extension of the Brownfields Tax Credit, but it also includes a provision designed to extend approvals granted for real estate projects that may have been stalled during the economic downturn of the last two years, to allow projects to proceed without the expense or delay of having to reapply for permits.
