NEW RESTAURANTS
Restaurants are popping up all over Worcester, but the companies and entreprenuers operating them are from outside the region and represent competition to the locally owned dining options in the city.
“Restaurants are another big area of potential for Worcester. We have some excellent restaurants here, and it is an easier drive, easier and less expensive to park, less expensive to dine, and less hassle for MetroWest folks who habitually go into Boston to dine. Maybe it’s time we promote Worcester more as a good dining alternative.”
WBJ commenter Mark Vincent of Worcester (Vincent writes the monthly WineWisdom column for the MetroWest Daily News).
HIGH TECH IMPORTANCE
The Mass Technology Leadership Council annual State of the Technology Economy report released in May found the Massachusetts high-tech sector is directly or indirectly responsible for 35 percent of all jobs in the state, 46 percent of the state’s total payroll and 31 percent of the state’s gross state product.
