Should Madison Properties be forced to sell its Polar Park-adjacent land?
Poll Description

When City of Worcester and Worcester Red Sox officials announced in 2018 the plan to construct the Polar Park baseball stadium in the Canal District, a key part of the economic development effort was a partnership with Boston developer Madison Properties to redevelop five properties around the ballpark into residences, hotels, and office buildings, with openings scheduled to begin in 2021 when the stadium opened.

All five of those Madison projects are significantly behind schedule and only one has come to fruition -- the high-end 228-apartment complex The Revington -- although the Canal District has seen other non-Madison developments come online, including The Cove and District 120 apartment complexes. All developments in Central Massachusetts have faced headwinds since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, including trouble obtaining affordable financing, shortage of materials and labor, and downturns in the commercial real estate and life sciences industries.

The slow development of the Madison properties was the main reason cited by City officials for why the City's plan to not use general taxpayer funds to pay for the $160-million Polar Park has failed. Members of the City Council have gone as far as to call for one key Madison property to perhaps be seized by eminent domain to make way for a new developer.
