In a press conference with city officials Thursday afternoon, development firm Boston Capital announced plans for a retail and housing development at the site of departing manufacturer Table Talk Pies next to the $132-million Polar Park public baseball stadium in Worcester's Canal District.
At the same event, Worcester developer Churchill James detailed plans for its previously announced bowling alley and residential building about two blocks away on Green Street.
The two projects' combined investments are estimated to be nearly $100 million, according to the city.
"Without the investment of the ballpark, we probably would not have the level of investment" discussed Thursday, City Manager Edward Augustus said at the press conference.
