    Worcester Infill and Developments

    I'm actually excited about this for Worcester, I don't want to get into the politic and money stuff. Having a minor league team with a Boston name on it is a bigger deal than San Jose (aka the hockey Sharks who moved so they could be next to the team for call ups and stuff like that.). So you...

    The Worcester Business Journal has a good article on the history of Worcester's downtown redevelopment. There's no news on new projects, but its a good read for those interested. http://www.wbjournal.com/article/20170724/PRINTEDITION/307219997/1002

    Worcester Infill and Developments

    Losing this beautiful building is a shame. It's not exactly downtown Boston, there are empty lots and empty buildings that need rehab in downtown Worcester. But I guess in the end this is the property the developer already owns.

    I grew up in the Worcester area and go back a lot. I would say "non-existent" is strong, but it seems there is more demand on the 495 belt in Marlborough and Westborough. They have had Boston Scientific, BJ's and Cumberland Farms move west for new HQ's in the recent past. Edit: WPI and UMass...

    I know Worcester State has or had a policy that if you lived within 20 miles of campus you were not allowed to live on campus. The 20 miles may be incorrect, but the policy was there.

    The biggest problem with the Worcester-Framingham Line is there are too many stops that are too close together. Grafton/Westborough, Southborough/Ashland, Framingham/West Natick, 3 Wellesley stops. The 3 Newton stops are pretty close together but atleast Newton has 85,000 people.
