More delays https://www.wbjournal.com/article/developers-behind-105-unit-proposal-at-former-fairway-beef-site-request-third-permit

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. The airport facilities can handle more capacity in terms of flights. Demand is growing even with the crappy ground transit connections. I expect more flights and routes to be added at a slow but steady trickle, which at some point may trigger better...

Up on Gold Star Blvd, this commercial development where a car dealership once was. It’s next to the Chick-Fil-A which has been so busy that they’re doubling the drive thru capacity atm.

Not a fan of the brick in front of the retail space, but ok

Nearing completion

Three and a half years after the initial announcement, construction is supposed to start this month. https://www.wbjournal.com/article/after-12m-purchase-developer-to-break-ground-on-senior-housing-project-at-former-worcester

Pretty good indication that business in these hotels wasn’t booming, otherwise why would they look to sell?

Playa Bowl, an Acai place, will be another tenant at the Revington. There are already a number of Acai juice places in the city. https://www.wbjournal.com/article/nj-acai-bowl-restaurant-to-be-second-commercial-tenant-at-key-canal-district-development The article also states that 118 of the...

Worcester station still waiting for second track:

Neighbors in Green Island are unhappy with these developments and fear to be pushed out. I do sympathize but that specific corner is an urban wasteland at the moment...

I was really excited that there was some news about this development..

Great news! The first retail space at the Revington will be filled by - another bank. UniBank snatched up a prime retail location, similar to the new Santander and BofA branches on Main Street. Who knew there was demand...

Luciano’s is still there, I’ve never eaten there but there seem to be quite busy with catering events at Union Station. Worcester Food Hub is building a kitchen on the other end. https://worcesterfoodhub.org/union-station

I took a look today. The platform is ready but the second track has not been laid. So only one train in the station at a time until that has been added. Bonus:

I sense we’re just at the beginning of a bust cycle for proposed projects in this town. It’s a big setback.

Is that where that goes? I was confused and thought that the place was on Lamartine street where the old police substation was, or further up the street at 119 Chandler. I think it’s the same developer who owns those properties.
