I truly believe the best place for a "Triage" center is a location like the old City Hospital. Building itself, parking lot, off the Main Street while still centrally located makes the most sense. Lets hope SMOC, the new operator of the Triage Ctr, can work a deal to stay at this location or find another similar location.
I got to ask this. If this does not work out, why can't they merely go back to the empty building that they already own on Main Street (the location of the PIP shelter), versus moving it somewhere else??

The new location is too close to Park Av. It should be near Tatnuck.
No it should be setup on Salisbury St.
You got what you wanted Zed.....continued Worcester urban decay.....I got units that I will just change direction on....at worst sell...my real estate is free and clear-bulk of my business and real estate in Greater Boston and Cape Cod....but EVO, Baba Sushi,Roccos....and any other area business already effected by the nonsense in the neighborhood past and present may just wither away -the people all Worcester folks.....White Cleaners 2nd and 3rd floor class A space still available five years after redevelopment....who will want hat space.....maybe Dept of Welfare:).......THIS PART of the city was slowly evolving wether you agreed with me,or anyone else and how it was being accomplished and it was being done privately excluding a few federal uurban funds that were djspersed where they were supposed to be on the street not in some suppos non-profit CEO's pocket.......in the end SMOC got out of Main South like most want to and they got themselves a nice building on the cheap.....now everyday the thousands of folks who drive up and down Chandler can witness the "national model" it created in regards to homelessness.
You will like this Senor Pedro Jahn.....in yesterdays meeting one city official suggested that what SMOC was really doing was positioning itself for winning a 10 year bid to service Section 8 vouchers.....so instead of a massive triage center for chronic drunks and drug addicts we may get this......whoop di do......another economic boost for area business:) Fourth rate urban renewal.planning is taking place in Worcester......SMOC.pulled the SMOC right over the City of Worcester's eyes.......one more Worcesrer neighborhood going.down....how many more left?
Paulie, I know that you would not be aware of it B/c you were still poopin' in your diapers plus you lived in Somerville, but the entire Worcester center Idea was a huge Urban renewal project for Worcester and it only took 21 years b4 it was in the toilet. Open 1971...............and on life support in 1992 and soon to be on the ground in a massive pile of 3/4" crushed Concrete aggregate.
Query whats worse........teh MLK building converted to low income apts or an SMOC triage center.?? Chose your poison.
BTW, can ya git Mcgovern back the village of Piedmont and have him defund thsi SMOC project? Only possible hope.
These de-tox centers belong out in Charlemont, Florida, Prescott, Enfield, Greenwich, and Dana Massachusetts......the boonies and not in an urban ripe with adult beverages and dope. Which reminds I put a 16 oz'er in the freezer over an hour ago........YIKES gotta get it outta there...NOW
I am done Senor Pedro Jahn.....I have a Cambridge and a Somerville.location itching for my music festival....in the process of renting residential units....Louie is going to.manage...have to decide.what to do with new.purchase on chandler....gonna move into a somerville or cambridge flat i own and probably end in Boston.....have wanted to move back to Boston for awhile....Charlestown or NORTH End.....
I have owned in Worcester since 1992 but was selling real estate in it since 1989.....know mall and med city real well Senor Pedro Jahn.
SMOC pulled the SMOC over Worcester eyes.......UMASS is kicking SMOC out in October....I expect to see round the clock construction on the undeveloped 20k space in MLK very soon.....take a ride by former PIP Shelter right now.....as bad as ever.
