PAWTUCKET, R.I. — One of the proposed sites for the new Pawtucket Red Sox stadium would bring in $34 million more in state and city taxes than the other site, according to a recently released study.

"The numbers pretty starkly point to the Apex site being superior to Tidewater," said Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien.

Apex is a former department store near downtown, while Tidewater is in a wooded area along the Seekonk River.

The minor league baseball team and the city jointly hired a national firm for the study comparing the impact of developing the two sites.
