WORCESTER, Mass. – State and local leaders were on hand Wednesday morning for a ribbon cutting for a new solar carport at the Worcester Business Center. 

The $6 million canopy covers about 2.6 acres and will generate electricity. It’s part of a 25 year lease agreement with Green Street Power Partners. The carport is the largest private solar canopy in the state.
