The GE plans along Fort Point didn't work out as promised, but don't worry, life sciences into the breach

The Globe reports that Eli Lilly, an Indianapolis-based drug company, will establish a $700-million genetic-medicine hub in a 12-story building now under construction on Necco Street - on what was originally supposed to be part of the GE campus. Lilly already has a relatively small outpost in Kendall Square.

Oh good I was worried they might try to put housing there. The critical shortage of office space is much more pressing.

Are we getting those millions in subsidies back since GE's relocation has produced virtually none of the agreed upon benefits?

My husband worked in Fort Point in 2018 when we had all the nor'easter flooding on a king tide.

He got some great pics of that GE sign that was there during the epic high tides.

Are they planning saline aquaculture research? Desalination?

I can hardly wait to see what new types of anamorphic fungi they produce. /s
