WORCESTER, Mass. - The construction of a 350-space parking garage across from Polar Park is about 60% complete.
The garage was originally expected to be done and in use this month.
The garage is near the park’s Gate D, across from Madison Street.
The construction manager, Gilbane-Hunt, also shared the garage construction workforce diversity numbers.
Roughly 16% of crew members working on the garage are Worcester residents, 16% are people of color, and 5% are female.
A representative from Gilbane-Hunt told the Worcester Redevelopment Authority on Friday, that while the numbers aren't great, they're “trending in the right direction." They say they'll start moving to finish work soon which will allow those percentages to increase.
