any word when we will hear about why the other NRSA groups have not spent the money or if they have where it was spent?
I agree with you completely, we need to stop attracting lowlifes to worcester. On another note, you previously posted about citysquare demolition. I read that Unum is working with ADD Inc, on the design development of their new building and expect this phase to be done by the end of 9/09. i tried to find the article i read but i can't locate it. After the design development is completed they intend to sign the final lease agreement with Berkley and then demolotion can begin.

It should be very simple for the other four NRSA's to submit an accounting of how they spent our tax monies. Would expect it if not the next, definately the one after that.

I am really peeved at this to be quite honest with you Wild Will..all of this money not being spent and the stats being presented to us that 25% of the city is below the poverty level...either there is some chicanery on-going or the folks over seeing the program are not qualified to be doing so...Main South loked like a shite hole this summer...and with the Main South CDC being part of the NRSA Program it should have shined...
Our summer youth employment crew worked Main South yesterday and today and at lunch today all they did was talk about the prostitutes that aprioached them....Chandler is not far removed from that scene..224 Chandler & 8-10 Winfield are Main South scenes as far as I am concerned...
WE need to ush for this accounting...and sooner than later as far as I am concerned..
Paulie:
You should be... In fact I don't think the South Worcester NRSA should have gotten any monies until they established a South Worcester Business Council as they said that they would in their application.
Ironically I met with Councilor Haller today and her and I have a list of people already and we are going to form a South Worcester Business Council and create the same success as has been done on Chandler Street.
In fact I alreay want Hung working the streets done on Canterbury next Summer.
Bill
I think it is "she and I"....:>)

Breaking bread with BH never thought I would see the day... don't mention you have talked with other councilors....glad to see you bend for the good of the city... need more like you...your a better man than Jm says you are...
Signman:
I can not tell you how much fun I have had with Artie, Rich, Paul and yourself.. Even when we end up fighting, it is still fun..
There is a great group of businessmen of down here and if Barbara makes this happen, the way it should have happened with the South Worcestger Neighborhood Ctr, I owe her.
Bill
I'll believe when I see a Barbara Haller for City Councilor on the package store...
Barbara owes me for making you see the light through the weeds on Canterbury Street
Signman...I think our baby is leaving home
