Menino praises Roslindale Staples plans

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino praised a proposal to build a Staples office-supply store in Roslindale Village.

Such a store will "reinforce the community's strong economic appeal," Menino said in a statement.

Earlier the month, Staples, a Framingham-based retailer of office supplies, submitted plans for a $3 million project that will result in a building of roughly 19,000 square feet, Menino's office said.

Once approved by the BRA board, the store could start construction by the end of the year, Menino's office said.
