WORCESTER – Worcester, Mass., city officials are making efforts to lure not only the PawSox out of Pawtucket, but also Hasbro Inc., the Worcester Business Journal reported Tuesday.

According to public documents from the Mass. Office of Business Development, Worcester city officials are seeking state help to get the  company to come to Worcester, next to the baseball stadium being built to house the Pawtucket Red Sox following its departure from Pawtucket.

No records acquired from Massachusetts included correspondence from the city to the company.

The company has not yet provided guidance on any potential relocation but has previously confirmed it is evaluating its options for a modernized headquarters.
