A soccer stadium in Everett, Massachusetts, is one step closer to becoming a reality.

The Kraft Group has been working toward building a new home for the New England Revolution – a 25,000-seat stadium on the Mystic River. The project has passed state legislative hurdles but multiple communities raised concerns about the potential impact on local infrastructure, public transit and quality of life. There was a Dec. 31 deadline to make community mitigation agreements.

The Kraft Group and the City of Boston announced a community benefits package on Wednesday that would total $48 million over the next 15 years.

Mayor Michelle Wu’s office said the Kraft Group will make “substantial infrastructure improvements” for Sullivan Square in Charlestown prior to the stadium’s opening.

NBC10 Boston asked Wu about the agreement at First Night Boston.

“I am very pleased that we have reached a fair deal for the city of Boston, particularly for the residents of Charlestown and all of the many, many community leaders, neighborhood leaders, who have been part of making sure that there would be mitigation addressed,” she said. “This is a huge opportunity for the entire region, to bring jobs here, to make sure that we’re continuing to be the sports capital of the entire region.”

The Krafts will also fund all public safety and transportation management costs for stadium events and the city of Boston will collect a permanent per-ticket revenue source, totally $34 million over the first 15 years.

The Kraft Group has also reached an agreement with the City of Everett through negotiations with Mayor Carlo DeMaria, who has been supportive of the project.

“These agreements reflect years of collaboration with city leaders and community stakeholders to ensure the project delivers meaningful, lasting benefits for residents while addressing transportation, environmental, and municipal impacts. We are especially grateful for Mayor Carlo DeMaria’s leadership and vision. At its core, this is an investment in Everett and its future,” the company said in a statement.

“I know there are many more steps to come, but this is an important milestone that we’ve reached, and I’m very happy that we’re here,” Wu added.
