Menino & Alford on Harvard expansion

Mayor: Let Harvard Business build - BostonHerald.com

Harvard University won an important ally yesterday in its plans for a $120 million expansion of the Business School.

Mayor Thomas M. Menino told the Herald that the city should not stand in the way of the school’s proposal for a new academic facility on Western Avenue.

But Paul Alford, who lives near the giant hole that would have been another major Harvard project - the stalled $1 billion science complex on Western Avenue - accused the mayor of a double standard.
