Developer Addresses Residents' Stadium Fears

BOSTON-A presentation created by developer Frank McCourt aims to ease the concerns of residents about increased traffic attracted to a new Boston Red Sox ballpark that may be built on his property.

BOSTON-Local developer Frank McCourt is upping the ante on his campaign to build a new ballpark for the Boston Red Sox on his 25 acres here on the South Boston waterfront by providing a public presentation of his plans to area politicians, businesspeople and residents.

The presentation–developed by a team of the developer’s top aides including spokesman Charles Kenney, transportation consultant Marc Cutler, development advisers Diom O’Connell and Brad Guarino, and South Boston community liaison Joseph Nee–addresses the traffic concerns of local residents and emphasizes that a new stadium would a boon to the area. “We’re focused on working closely with the South Boston community,” Kenney tells GlobeSt.com. “Most of the questions are about transportation so the presentation focuses on that.” Kenney adds that his team has been putting on the presentation at least once a day and sometimes more often.

But Kenney was evasive about McCourt’s plans to bid on the team, which is currently up for sale. As of yet, McCourt has not filed the necessary paperwork to bid, although he has until August 15 to do so. Regarding the purchase, Kenney would only say, “I am not in a position to talk about that.”
