South Worcester Industrial Park

Tomorrow there will be another ceremony for the demolition of the old Standard Foundry. No lie this has to be the 4th or 5th ceremony at the South Worcester Industrial Park (SWIP) over the past 10 years. I can recall, although I can not say with 100% certainty, one event chaired by Governor Cellucci. To date not one job or company has been created from these efforts.

Lets hope some of the dignataries that are there will notice the overgrown parcel, 49 Canterbury Street, that was awarded to Phramasphere last January for $1. To date the parcel still has not been taken title, no property taxes have been paid and the winning bidder has until September of 2010 to take title as long as they are working "diligently".

Worc Commmon Ground website has a picture of about 10 local pols standing in the foreground of the old Institutional Linens site on Mason St and in the background is a demolition excavator with a grapple attached to it.

The pic has to be 2-3 years old.........and where are they with this project?

All these building projects that have "city Initiatives" behind them are years behind the curve.

Pharmasphere........Mason St........City Sq.......Summer St Church......

So whats going to be built at Standard Foundry site? got to be NO LO Housing????
