DOWNTOWN THEATER DISTRICT
Plans for a theater district have been drawing comments in our LinkedIn group page for several months. Here’s the latest response on what the city should consider:
"Traffic. Parking. Safety from crime. Supporters of a Worcester theater district should insist that those 3 factors get addressed from the outset."

DROP IN CITY HOME VALUES
An online story about a drop in home prices in Worcester from September 2010 to September 2011 led a commenter to wonder why the values aren’t reflected in property tax bills:
"When is the city government going to reflect this consistent drop in their valuation of homes instead of strong-arming the citizenry into higher taxes (by toying with the "rate per thousand"), regardless of both house value reduction as well as the terrible state of the economy?"

WPI VENTURE FORUM
An online story on the awarding of the first Worcester Polytechnic Institute Venture Forum's Life Sciences Track business plan contest drew this plaudit about the forum:
"Those of you who don't know about the great group at the WPI Venture Forum should come to a meeting. There's a lot to learn for business people from companies of all sizes."
