BOSTON – Governor Charlie Baker today announced the appointment of Worcester County Sheriff Lewis G. Evangelidis to the seven-member Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) Board of Directors. Sheriff Evangelidis was initially appointed to the Massport board in 2015 and is being re- appointed to serve a new seven-year term. Sheriff Evangelidis currently serves as the Chairman of the Massport board. “Sheriff Evangelidis has a strong record as a leader in the public safety field and has been a strong addition to the Massport board as a member and its chair,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “I am pleased to appoint him to serve a new term on the board and look forward to his continued contributions as the agency navigates continued challenges related to COVID-19 and beyond.” “Massport continues to benefit from the leadership of its dedicated board and executive staff, and we thank Sheriff Evangelidis for serving another term as part of that team,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We have appreciated Sheriff Evangelidis bringing his perspective to the board over the past five years and look forward to his continued contributions.” "Since 2015, it has been a great privilege to serve on the Massport Board,” said Worcester County Sheriff & Massport Chairman Lew Evangelidis. “I have enjoyed working closely with the Massport team and our fellow board members during the course of our rapid growth and now during the challenges presented by COVID-19. I appreciate Governor Baker reappointing me to serve a new term and I look forward to my continued responsibilities as its Chairman." “We are fortunate to have a dedicated public servant like Sheriff Evangelidis as Chairman of our Board,” said Massport CEO Lisa Wieland. “His leadership has guided Massport through periods of rapid growth and unprecedented crises, and will serve the Authority well as we plan for and manage the new normal.” Evangelidis received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1983 and received his Juris Doctorate from the Temple University School of Law in 1987. Prior to elected service in Massachusetts, Evangelidis served as an Assistant State Prosecutor in Miami-Dade County, Florida, was an Assistant District Attorney in Suffolk County and worked at the law firm of Pellegrini and Seeley from 2000 through 2010. Evangelidis was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 2002 and served the 1st District of Worcester for eight years. He was elected Sheriff of Worcester County and has served since January of 2011. He has served on the Massport board since 2015. Massport is governed by a seven member Board.

    July 26, 2019 Kathleen Theoharides, Secretary Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs Attention: MEPA Office – Page Czepiga, MEPA #15665 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 RE: Logan Airport Parking Project, DEIR, MEPA #15665 Dear Secretary Theoharides: The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) regularly reviews proposals deemed to have regional impacts. The Council reviews proposed projects for consistency with MetroFuture, the regional policy plan for the Boston metropolitan area, the Commonwealth’s Sustainable Development Principles, as well as impacts on the environment. MAPC has a long-term interest in alleviating regional traffic and environmental impacts, consistent with the goals of MetroFuture. Furthermore, the Commonwealth encourages an increased role for bicycling, transit and walking to meet our transportation needs while reducing traffic congestion and vehicle emissions. Additionally, the Commonwealth has a statutory obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 25% from 1990 levels by 2020 and by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) has submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)/Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Logan Airport Parking Project (the Project). This DEIR is combined with a Federal EA for review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This Project addresses implementation of Massport’s plan to add 5,000 new on-Airport commercial parking spaces at Boston-Logan International Airport. Massport plans to construct the additional parking in two locations: approximately 2,000 spaces are proposed to be added in a new garage in front of Terminal E where there is an existing surface parking lot, and an additional 3,000 spaces are planned to be added to the existing Economy Garage.

  • Massport Board Approves Funding to Begin Boston Harbor Dredging Project
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: March 24, 2016 Matt Brelis or Jennifer Mehigan 617-568-3100 Massport Board Approves Funding to Begin Boston Harbor Dredging Project BOSTON – The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) Board today voted to approve to execute a Project Partnering Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and MassDOT to start the Boston Harbor Dredging Project. A signed agreement allows the ACOE to bid contracts for construction on a Confined Aquatic Disposal cell (CAD cell), which is needed for the maintenance dredging of the Inner Harbor Main Ship Channel. Maintenance dredging will restore the inner harbor to 40 feet and is the first phase of the larger dredging project. Without maintenance dredging, the harbor will continue to silt, leading to increased transit times, economic inefficiencies, and navigational safety concerns. This portion of the harbor was last dredged by the ACOE in 1986, and is vital to the maritime economy in Massachusetts. “The maintenance dredging and associated construction on CAD cell by the Army Corps of Engineers will allow for the terminals on the Chelsea Creek and Mystic River, including the Commonwealth energy corridor, to continue to operate in the most efficient manner; providing the region with a multitude of bulk products,” said Lisa Wieland, Massport’s Port Director. The CAD cell is a key factor in the maintenance dredging of the inner harbor ship channel, which will ensure vessels carrying home heating oil, salt, Logan Airport’s jet fuel, and cars to the Autoport can continue to get to terminals on the Chelsea and Mystic Rivers.

  • Massport's Conley Container Terminal Continues Trend of Record-Setting
    For Immediate Release January 11, 2017 Massport’s Conley Container Terminal Continues Trend of Record-Setting Growth 2016 Brought Record Number of Containers In and Out of the Port of Boston BOSTON – The Port of Boston’s Paul W. Conley Container Terminal set a new calendar year record in 2016; with total volumes up 5 percent over 2015. In 2016, 248,391 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) were moved in and out of the terminal, connecting vital goods and services between New England and the world. The Port of Boston is the main artery of Massachusetts’ consumer economy, with imports and exports serving as strong catalysts for growth, investment and opportunity. “The Conley Container Terminal’s sustained growth is a pillar of the Massachusetts economy, supporting thousands of jobs and local businesses across the Commonwealth, while ensuring people receive the goods they need when they need them,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “A strong, working port is a necessity for continued economic growth which is why I have consistently supported smart investments to keep the Port of Boston’s facilities secure, up to date and competitive.” 2016 saw the volume of both imports and exports rise significantly. Imports were up by more than 5,000 TEUs (4.5 percent) over 2015 and exports grew by nearly 10,000 TEUs (11.7 percent) this year, as more New England-based businesses used Conley to bring their products to the global marketplace. “The continued growth and success of Conley has a far greater impact than these remarkable back-to-back records,” said Massport CEO Thomas P.
