• Governor Healey announces money for projects in Woburn (New Boston Street 2.0) and Burlington (Middlesex Turnpike) (homenewshere.com) — Burlington is receiving over $3.2 million in state grants to upgrade pedestrian access, traffic controls, and public space on Middlesex Turnpike and to modernize sign bylaws in the Mixed Use Innovation District. The funding supports the town's first MBTA Communities Act housing project with 188 units, including affordable homes, and will guide future storefront, lighting, and wayfinding design across the district.
• The ROR Morning Show Podcast 10/6 (wror.com) — One segment of this Boston-area morning show dives into six new or upcoming stores at the Burlington Mall, with hosts comparing each to classic 80s and 90s favorites. The episode also features lighthearted chats about road trips, loyalty points, awkward bar conversations, trivia, and TV picks, giving Burlington listeners a fun way to catch up on regional pop culture.
• Consano Bio raises over USD 15m to advance platelet-derived sciatica therapy (allsci.com) — A Burlington-based biotech firm, Consano Bio, has raised more than $15 million to advance its experimental platelet-derived treatment for chronic sciatica, adding to $45 million raised since its founding.
