Massachusetts Democrats shuttled a major jobs package that clears the way for a soccer stadium in Everett and a clean energy bill that attempts to speed up siting and permitting processes to Gov. Maura Healey’s desk Thursday during rare post-Election Day sessions.

In a move that strikes two major pieces of legislation from Beacon Hill’s to-do list, legislators took final votes on the $4 billion economic development bill and climate legislation that were left hanging when the House and Senate initially ended formal sessions for the year in August.

But after facing backlash because of the litany of unfinished proposals, top Democrats agreed to keep working on measures that were already in closed-door negotiations and take recorded votes during a stretch of the year when they are typically not allowed.

The plan to free up 43 acres along the Mystic River for a soccer stadium and park is one of many policy proposals tucked into the jobs package, which also features hundreds of millions of dollars for life sciences and climate technology initiatives.

Rep. Jerry Parisella, a Beverly Democrat who co-chairs the Economic Development and Emerging Technologies Committee, said the investments in the economic development bill “will help ensure Massachusetts can inject millions of dollars into critical sectors.”

“This is an exciting time in the history of Massachusetts. We have an opportunity to once again strengthen our lead in key high-growth economic sectors and maintain our national leadership in life sciences and biotech,” he said.

Talks on the clean energy bill fell apart in dramatic fashion in the early morning hours of Aug. 1, which were supposed to be the final moments of formal sessions for the Legislature.

But months later, the two Democratic lawmakers — Rep. Jeff Roy of Franklin and Sen. Michael Barrett of Lexington — struck an agreement — only to have it run into brief Republican resistance in the Senate and House.

The pushback led Senate President Karen Spilka to muscle through an order allowing for recorded votes on all bills that made it into conference committees, or six-member groups that negotiate compromises, before the end of formal sessions. The chamber passed the measure 38-2 in late October.

House Speaker Ron Mariano scheduled Thursday’s formal session to tackle the economic development bill and clean energy proposal after conservatives in his chamber threatened to block the measure.

Democrats have largely focused on the bill’s reforms to the siting and permitting process for renewable energy projects, provisions they argue are necessary to boost the state’s burgeoning clean energy sector.

The bill also requires utility regulators, when weighing a request to expand natural gas service territory, to consider the state’s interest in complying with greenhouse gas emission limits, avoiding the stranding of assets and the likelihood of costs being borne by ratepayers, and whether an alternative to natural gas service available that will likely provide similar service.

Rep. Jeff Roy, a Franklin Democrat who co-chairs the Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy Committee, said the bill allows Massachusetts “to push forward the necessary clean energy policy to fight the negative effects of the climate crisis.”

“The amount of work that went into this bill is staggering and pulls from diverse sources,” he said.
