A trio of Worcester businessmen that have sought to create more parking opportunities in the city s Canal District have bought three more small parcels of land.
An entity registered to businessmen Allen Fletcher, Dino Lorusso and Edward Murphy paid $1.75 million to buy three sites that each contain buildings today and are not planned to be knocked down for parking, according to Fletcher. The deal, which closed March 18, comes weeks before Polar Park opens for Worcester Red Sox baseball games and as the neighborhood is eyed for further potential development.
The properties they bought are 30 Millbury St., a former Advance Auto Parts; 7 Lamartine St., home to Golden Tandoori Bakery; and 13 Lamartine St., a PPG Paints store. The sites total just over 1 acre and were sold by an entity registered to Jon Stockel of Armonk, N.Y. The Lamartine Street sites are adjacent to one another and contiguous with another site the trio owns.
