Polar Park project could leave Worcester with $40-60M deficit, study says

Since the construction of Polar Park and the establishment of the Worcester Red Sox was announced in 2018, the city administration stressed that over time, the project would pay for itself through new development and tax revenue. Despite project costs reaching nearly $160 million, the city has stuck with this assertion. However, a new study out last week revealed the project may create a deficit of $40-$60 million for the city.
