Abstract/Description:
This report assesses whether the Worcester Downtown Triple A Ballpark/Mixed use Development, also known as Polar Park, is the best use of the formerly industrial and blighted parcels of land in Downtown Worcester. By considering the proposed use, environmental sustainability, financial sustainability and compatibility with the City’s and Regional goals, this report discusses whether this project is a long-term benefit for the City, and suggests regulatory changes to maximize benefits from this and future developments.
