The Wynn Resorts’ casino drama in Massachusetts continues.

This time, the casino operator received a nod from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation officials to continue with its plan of building the $1.7 billion casino in Everett.

In an Aug. 21 memo obtained by the Boston Globe, J. Lionel Lucien endorsed Wynn’s casino plan, saying, “We believe that no further environmental review need be required based on transportation issues.” Lucien is the manager of the Department of Transportation’s public-private development unit.

The memo puts the MassDOT at odds Attorney General Maura Healey who wants to delay giving Wynn the permit until it provides a “long-term traffic solution to address the projected traffic that will impact the surrounding areas when the integrated casino resort starts operating.
