A 70-year-old Hopkinton man was arraigned Monday on an attempted murder charge for allegedly trying to drown a man at a local beach following a dispute over his use of a jet ski, records show. Steven A. Dana pleaded not guilty in Middlesex Superior Court on Monday to charges of attempted murder, strangulation or suffocation, and misdemeanor assault and battery, records show. He is due back in court on Dec. 11 for a pretrial hearing. Dana’s attorney, David J. Grimaldi, declined to comment Monday. Dana was indicted by a grand jury last month in connection with the June 3 incident at Lake Maspenock, in which he allegedly held Matthew Duffy, 21, of Milford, under the water for 10 seconds. He was arraigned in Framingham District Court and released on $7,500 bail. On Monday, Judge Michael A. Sullivan approved the transfer of Dana’s bail to the superior court case and ordered that he stay away from Duffy and the beach and not possess any weapons during his release. Prosecutor Daniel Bolcun requested the bail transfer, saying that Dana had a “limited” criminal record and noting the seriousness of the charges against him, according to a recording of the arraignment.

With Question 3, R.I. voters have a chance to invest in the state’s economic future
This election cycle, Rhode Island has an opportunity to strengthen its economy, support local businesses, and position itself for growth in industries that will shape the future. Businesses deciding where to invest are looking for the infrastructure and development-ready sites that will allow them to turn expansion plans into reality. If Rhode Island wants to compete for that investment, we need to be proactive. The economic development bond, which is Question 3 on this year’s ballot, presents an opportunity to make that preparation a priority. The proposed $100 million investment would support site development and infrastructure for the state’s fastest-growing industries, including the life sciences, the ocean economy, and defense manufacturing. It’s a chance to build on Rhode Island’s existing strengths while preparing for new opportunities across the state. Site readiness can make a meaningful difference when companies are choosing where to open or expand their business. Environmental remediation, utility installation, and infrastructure upgrades require time and resources, which, for many growing businesses, are often in short supply.
Boston developer of 750-unit Morrissey Blvd housing project sues partners, alleging fraud
“We have worked closely with the city of Boston and neighborhood stakeholders to earn their support and approval for the development of 750 housing units — housing that is needed now, without further delay,” Copper Mill chief executive Andrew Flynn said in a statement. “We continue to believe strongly in the vision for this site and its importance to Boston residents.”A representative for Pactolus, which is based in Virginia, declined to comment. Representatives for Chicago-based POB did not return requests for comment. Court filings in the case detail a circuitous and bumpy path for a project that was started by the finance firms, taken over by Copper Mill, and then reconceived as a joint effort that the investors allegedly used to regain sole control of the site. Josh Zakim, a former Boston City Councilor and executive director of the housing advocacy group Housing Forward MA, called the dispute ill-timed, given the city’s broader development slowdown. “It’s a significant project, especially these days when there’s not a lot of developers even trying to do something of this size,” he said.
