Mayor Wu's plan to remake White Stadium through a partnership with a pro women's soccer team could play a pivotal role in the mayoral race. The post Josh Kraft calls on Wu to ‘immediately halt’ White Stadium demolition appeared first on Boston.com.
Josh Kraft, a mayoral candidate challenging Michelle Wu, has called for an immediate halt to the demolition of White Stadium in Boston. Wu's plan involves a public-private partnership with a professional women's soccer team, BOS Nation FC, to renovate the stadium, with costs split evenly between the city and the team. Kraft argues that legal issues must be resolved before proceeding, criticizing Wu for prioritizing private interests over community needs. The project, expected to cost $200 million, aims to modernize the stadium and enhance facilities for local student athletes, while also benefiting local businesses. However, opponents, including Kraft, argue that the project disproportionately benefits private entities and question the use of public funds. The White Stadium issue is expected to be a central topic in the mayoral race.
