Another big step forward for the $132 million Polar Park project. The City of Worcester now owns the site which will be the home of the Worcester Red Sox.

The Worcester Redevelopment Authority unanimously approved the long-awaited deal at their meeting Friday morning. The city is taking the site from developer Madison Properties. WRA members are calling the deal, which will be official in 10 days, a major milestone in the ballpark's construction. Polar Park is still set to open in April of 2021.​
