[at-l] Boston Globe: "Greylock development may at last berealized"

[Mara Factor]

As the article mentioned, this is at the base of the mountain on the 
opposite side from the auto road to the summit so should have no bearing 
whatsoever on the hiking trails or anything else going on near the summit.  
That said, in an unrelated project, the road up the mountain is under repair 
and will be closed for the next two years ( 
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/western/mgry.htm ) so all facilities on the 
top of the mountain will be closed until 2009 as well.

The good news is that hikers will have the summit to themselves (well, there 
may be road crews there, too) but no tourons.  The bad news is the tower 
(from which there are great views) and Bascom Lodge (which used to offer 
housing) will also be closed.

So according to the article, it seems like the Glen project may be getting 
underway just as the road project finishes.  But, like I said, neither 
project seems to have any bearing on the other.
