EMINENT DOMAIN
The Worcester Redevelopment Authority's decision to possibly use eminent domain to enforce its vision for land use over 118 acres in the city has raised the ire of property owners.
“I don't think the government has the right, but, the precedent has already been set. Ironically there are two cases I know of, one in Connecticut and one in California, where in the end, after all the lawsuits and the weeping, everything was torn down and leveled, the plans were scrapped and now the land just sits as empty lots. But, of course, that would
never happen here in Massachusetts, would it?””

WORCESTER BIZ STARTS
WalletHub has ranked Worcester as the second-best city in New England to start a business, right after Boston. The Central Massachusetts city ranked 33rd overall – ahead of Denver, Dallas, Miami and Memphis – mostly because of its colleges and access to resources.
“Congrats Worcester.... now build that access road to the airport from the Mass Pike and watch the economy boom!”
