November 25, 2025 — A proposed state ocean-energy center fronting Homers Wharf is drawing opposition from a prominent local attorney who is an abutting property owner.
Richard T. Moses, who is also a retired Superior Court judge, said the proposed building “clearly does not belong on Homers Wharf” in a letter to the City Council Property Committee.
City Council approval is required for the proposal because the Mass. Clean Energy Center wants to lease the site for 15 years. The Port Authority’s enabling legislation requires a council OK for leases longer than five years.
