- Piedmont Street (Common Ground): Framing is going up for a 12 room single occupancy with retail on first floor with little to no parking.
- Benefit Street (Main South CDC): Framing three duplexes
Although we have:
- Hadley Apartments and first floor store fronts empty
- Cambridge/Hacker mostly empty
- Former City Builders property still not torn down
- Mason Street still fallow
- 9 May Street, I believe the basement tenants are still in hotels
The only two new development that we have in all of Main South is still more low to mod income housing projects..... I know people are sick of me saying this, but when do we finally say enough ie enough??? We need market drive, high end development projects to turn around Worcester not more projects that attract the opposite.
Isn't one of our goals to attract people with money to come to Worcester? Instead we keep building more low to mod income projects to attract non-high income people and we wonder why Worcester does not evolve.

Bill,
Have you ever looked at the website for the Hadley apartments? Here is the link - http://www.liveathadley.com/index.html
What I don't understand is why they wouldn't make mention on their website of the new barbecue restaurant that the folks from Block 5 are planning to open in the building.
I know their primarily a housing project but you would think they would also speak to the retail portion of the project.
On another note, where’s Jahn???? I miss his thoughts.

I know there was alot of talk--think it was to be called Ribs?? Right now I don't think there is anything definate.
Very very soft market, would be surprised if they were to do that right now.
