A federal court judge is allowing the Trump administration to reconsider a major federal permit that was granted to a Massachusetts offshore wind farm days before the president's inauguration.

Developer SouthCoast Wind said Wednesday it's assessing the decision and next steps, including the pursuit of legal remedies.

Construction has not yet begun.
