Suffolk Downs developer HYM Investment Group is agreeing to $2 million in benefits to local building trades as part of a project labor agreement for 14,000 projected construction jobs on the proposed 16.5 million-square-foot development.

The agreement comes as the Boston Planning & Development Agency nears a final decision on the massive mixed-use project under review since November 2017. City Councilor Lydia Edwards, who issued a statement in support of the labor agreement Monday, continues to push for a minimum 20 percent affordability requirement for the project’s 10,000 housing units, spokesman Joel Wool said today. The councilor is seeking income eligibility requirements that reflect East Boston residents’ median income of $53,000, along with a generous allocation of larger units for families.

Edwards has asked that a vote on the project be delayed until the BPDA board’s February meeting, Wool said.

The project labor agreement dedicates $1 million to the Building Pathways program to increase access to construction jobs by women and people of color, including apprenticeship and training programs, and funds to provide child care during times that coincide with construction workers’ schedules.

HYM and construction manager John Moriarty & Assoc. of Winchester agreed to another $1 million for job training programs for East Boston and Revere residents.

The Suffolk Downs PLA follows a similar agreement reached in November for construction of Millennium Partners’ $1.35 billion Winthrop Center skyscraper in the Financial District.
