Private development tour???

People accuse me of being negative. If you don't know me and just read this blog, I can maybe understand that.   Let me be positive for a few minutes.  There is alot of private investment in District 4.   Look no further then fellow blogger Paul or myself (duplex I built on an empty lot on the corner of May/Bellevue that was sold to two first time home-buyers with jobs and without one penny of tax subsidies), but there are many many others.  Arthur Mooradian and Russell Haims to mention a very few on the residential side and Andy Serrato or Al Maykiel on the business side.  Trust me there are many many many more.   

We should be having a bus tour hi-lighting private developers, who are getting it done and listening to them as to how we may be able to help them do more?   Seriously if you had some money and wanted to invest into real estate and read either of these two stories:
  1. Story about the City of Worcester having a bus tour hi-lighting private developers and how the City of Worcester is listeing and want to helps them do more.
  2. Stoy about the City of Worcester having a bus tour hi-lighting CDC's and how they want to keep them as the "preferred" developer and not open up more to private developers
What story would make you want to come to Worcester?   Every two years we hear about making Worcester more business friendly.   When is the private development bus tour being scheduled?
