BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio)<\/a> \u2014 One day after celebrating the Spanish government\u2019s creation of a trade office in Massachusetts, Governor Maura Healey<\/a> welcomed Spain\u00b4s First Deputy Prime Minister, Carlos Cuerpo<\/a>, to the Massachusetts State House on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

It was also announced that Spain has created a venture capital fund to invest in biotech firms from Spain and Massachusetts. <\/p>\n

Also at Wednesday’s meeting was the Ambassador of Spain to the U.S., Angeles Moreno<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The governor said that Massachusetts’ relationship with Spain goes back hundreds of years, and these latest announcements are growing that relationship. <\/p>\n

Cuerpo said Massachusetts is “a strategic destination for Spanish investment and innovation.” <\/p>\n

Spain is a strong trading partner to\u00a0Massachusetts, with more than $750\u00a0million\u00a0worth of goods exchanged in 2025. <\/p>\n

Massachusetts is also home to Spanish businesses that include CMZ Machinery Group, Santander Bank,\u00a0Mapfre Insurance,\u00a0Avangrid, and CT Engineering.\u00a0<\/p>\n

have complained about the building’s crumbling infrastructure since two schools located there shut down, one in 2022, the other in 2024. \\u003c\/p>\\n\\n\\u003cp>Scheduled for demolition since 2019, the building is being used as a community center. \\u003c\/p>\\n\\n\\u003cp>Allston-Brighton is Boston’s second-largest neighborhood in population, trailing only Dorchester.\\u003c\/p>\\n\\n\\u003cp>Residents said the neighborhood deserves the same kind of community center presence that others like Dorchester and the North End have.

the effort to fund the Jackson Mann project goes back many years. \\u003c\/p>\\n\\n\\u003cp>If approved, she said it’s an investment in the neighborhood’s future. "This is a 50-year commitment going into the future, or longer," she said. "Maybe it’s a 100-year commitment." \\u003c\/p>\\n\\n\\u003cp>Supporters said the community center will cost about $65 million-dollars, a project \\u003ca href=\\”https:\/\/www.boston.gov\/departments\/city-council\/ruthzee-louijeune\\” target=\\”_blank\\”>\\u003cstrong>At-Large Boston City Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune \\u003c\/strong>\\u003c\/a>said residents have wanted for a long time.
