Lincoln Square Boys Club

Sorry, but I am putting alot of hope into the direction of downtown Worcester based on what bid is chosen. Looking at the two bids summarized in the four page report to the City Council, I simply do not see how the Winn/WBDC proposal can be chosen.

Consider the backlog of low to mod income housing proposals on the drawing board:

  1. 93 Grand Street
  2. City Builders
  3. Mason Street
  4. Chevalier

Now consider this. If the old courthouse or Auditorium go out to bid some day, which they will, do you think Acorn or another private developer will bid when the RFP is put out if Winn gets the Lincoln Square Boys Club? No way, they will say why waste your time, Worcester goes low-mod income on all the RFP's--driving competition out of the city and lowering the cash the city receives.

Gee, I wonder what the Chamber of Commerce has to say about this.
