I don't trust the current office holders to use the money as they should. I fear the cause will be revitalize or improving Polar Park. We also know affordable housing isn't their goal.

A committee would be formed, made up primarily of members of other boards (conservation commission, historic preservation, affordable housing trust, etc.) - they would be the ones to evaluate funding proposals and send the best on to city council for approval. This is all written into the Act, so Worcester can't circumvent the committee and only very specific uses of the funds are allowed.
