Governor Charlie Baker’s administration filed a bill Thursday aimed at pumping more than $900 million into the state’s economy over five years and helping to spread the success the Boston area is enjoying to all corners of the state.
The bill calls for an infusion of funds into existing economic development programs and would help launch several new ones. It also includes some policy changes that would modify outdated rules — such as allowing qualified brewers to sell beer at farmers markets and exempting online retailers from paying time-and-a-half on Sunday for warehouse workers.
