Gardner, moving forward

It has taken a while in his sluggish economy, but it appears that the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is pushing forward on its building project. Boston Business Journal reports on Moody's rating of the museum, which is going to use bonds to pay for the Renzo Piano building planned for the Fenway site. ArtDaily reports that the Gardner has raised more than $100 million for the project. The design of the new building should be made public in 2010.
