In November, Pawtucket voters approved plans to turn the stadium into a new high school. The new facility would combine two of the city’s oldest high schools, Charles E. Shea and William E. Tolman.
The stadium has been vacant since 2019.
The chairman of the Facilities Committee for the Pawtucket School Department told ABC 6 News there’s plans to honor McCoy in the new facility.
