  • Worcester's Transportation Projects: an Update
    AN INDEPENDENT VOICE FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT WORCESTER'S TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS: AN UPDATE Report No. 01-1 January 30, 2001 500 Salisbury Street • Worcester, Massachusetts • 01609-1296 •Telephone: 508/799-7169 Facsimile: 508/799-4720 • www.wrrb.org 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY After reviewing the status of Worcester’s major transportation projects, the Research Bureau makes the following observations: • The Route 146 Connector between the new MassPike Interchange in Millbury and I-290 in Worcester begun in 1995, will not be completed until late 2005 or early 2006. • Worcester Regional Airport currently has nine flights per day to three destinations. By April 2001, there will be eleven daily flights to four destinations. That is still fewer than when the airport was at the peak of its enplanements in 1988 and there were fifteen daily flights to five destinations. • Governor Cellucci recently announced that commuter rail service between Worcester and Boston will be increased from seven to ten trains a day by May, 2001. The final environmental impact report of 1997 promised the implementation of the new schedule when the Grafton Station opened which occurred almost a year ago. It should also be noted that the expanded service is still geared largely toward inbound commuters and does not accommodate “reverse” commuters. These observations indicate the need for Worcester area community leaders, both public officials and business leaders, to closely monitor these projects to ensure their successful completion in an expeditious manner. I. Introduction There are currently three major transportation projects being developed and expanded in the City of Worcester that could have a major impact on the City’s ability to attract new development, expand existing businesses, and improve the quality of life for residents of the region.

  • A Guide to Regional Organizations in the Greater Worcester Area
    A GUIDE TO REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE GREATER WORCESTER AREA Report No. 02-03 2002 319 Main Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01608 Telephone: 508-799-7169 Facsimile: 508-799-4720 www.wrrb.org Executive Summary Based on an analysis of regional organizations in the Worcester area, the Research Bureau makes the following observations: There are at least forty-nine regional organizations that have responsibilities for services and activities in central Massachusetts. Twenty-nine of these organizations have local, state, or federal government funding sources. Many of the quasi- public and private organizations do not release their budget information to the public. All the regional organizations can be categorized into eight basic groups: I. General Economic Development II. Economic Development-Financing and Brokering III. Economic Development for High Technology/Biotechnology IV. Economic Development Services for Women and Minorities V. Education, Workforce Development, and Business Counseling VI. Regional Planning and Research VII. Regional Transportation VIII. Public Utilities/Park Systems The absence of a unifying and consolidated regional entity makes it difficult for clients and citizens alike to receive assistance because they have to navigate a myriad of disconnected organizations. There seems to be a need for greater cooperation and coordination in the delivery of public and quasi-public services. Regional services, public relations, regional websites, brownfields redevelopment, regional workforce development, and regional economic development seem to be areas where there is some duplication and greater clarity and coordination would be helpful. For example, the Central Massachusetts Regional Employment Board (CMREB) is responsible for dispersing $50 million in government funds and setting workforce development policy for the region.
