Will Worcester’s incoming City Council be friendlier to businesses?

Worcester’s Nov. 4 municipal election saw the city reelect Mayor Joseph Petty for his eighth consecutive term in addition to some shake ups on the Worcester City Council. While at-large councilors incumbents Petty, Khrystian King, Kate Toomey, and Morris Bergman were reelected, the council welcomed new member Satya Mitra and former councilor Gary Rosen. Additionally, the five district city council members elected were former councilor Tony Economou, newcomer Robert Bilotta, newcomer John Fresolo, incumbent Luis Ojeda, and newcomer Jose Rivera.
