Hopes and Dreams for my Main South Neighborhood.

My vision -
I want to see my Neighborhood” expand, be all the city of Worcester and it’s residents have hoped for it to be.

Living on the corner of Grand & Illinois you see one of the old Crompton & Knowles factory buildings being used for Moving companies, furniture refinishers and some kind of computer company. I would love to see the Tainter St. area be what it should be. What happened once the Worcester Artist Group moved there headquarters into the old Tainter St. location.

The buildings are beautiful in their own way. Sturdy brick buildings in need of asbestos removal and new windows.

I would love to have the money to transform these buildings into Shops, Offices ect. How cool would it be to step out of my home @ University Park Lofts and walk 500 feet to the store front that Neil & I could have.

There is the very nicely taken care of ( at least from the outside) The Royal Worcester Apartments, this building was the Royal Worcester Corset Factory. How cool is that?

I have many dreams for this city we call Worcester. I love Worcester! I love the people that make it as diverse as it is. I just want to see growth and upward movement.
