The Chandler Business Association has asked for a copy of the LDA (Land Disposition Agreement) for the parcel that was sold 4 years ago on November 5th, 2005. We have not received it yet.

Worcester's latest low-mod income property development. According to the website: This project is designed to serve single residents or couples through the construction of 12 one bedroom apartments on floors two to four at affordable rates in addition to providing 4 commercial/studio/retail spaces on the street level. There is a deficit of both in this target area.How much is this going to cost?

There is a story in the newspaper today about the City of Worcester Housing Director, Scott Hayman, being put on administrative leave. Before I comment, let me say how untrue it is when someone asks why I hate low to mod income housing. I don't!! My problem, however, is that in Worcester there is an over-reliance on low to mod income projects, when we are well beyond the Commonwealth of

There was a story in the Telegram today about how they changed the bank into a loan center, click here. Why do you think they did this????Now this is completely unconfirmed but my opinion, but how many times had this bank been held up the past 3-4 years? How much business do you think the retail tellers actually did here?? I would chalk this up as closed business.

In today's Telegram, click here. Here is one quote“I think we’re very focused on getting the lease settled. So again, I want to assure, we are absolutely committed to that project. We’re very excited about that project and, again, getting the development under way.”Please note the absence of a date. My January 1st deadline bet is looking with Dewey.

Want to make sure everyone see this to my post below that was e-mailed to meAnonymous said...This was the only time since Direct Air has been at the airport that passengers had to be bussed to Hartford. It does not happen a lot as was stated. Also, I just tried to book a flight around Xmas, and it looks like Direct Air has added many flights to the schedule! Great sign!

Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said Monday the team would meet with Johnson, cut last week by the Chiefs, but added Johnson would be a backup to Cedric Benson if he signed on.

How did that happen???We can go back and forth, but if Maroney does not full the ball at the goal lie the pats win. Do you remember Antwone Smith? Give me Larry Johnson. Now that Taylor and Morris are hurt, we need a solid running back.

You know the State Rep from Holden with an "R" after his name. He sent out an e-mail today that, more or less, if Glodis runs for State Auditor he would seriously consider a run at the Sheriff.Good e-mail and Lew is a good man, I would consider him for my vote and I would not even have to change my address to Worester.

Hi Bill,Sorry I took so long but do not think we will use this airport again. It was foggy so we had to be bused to Hartford. From what I hear this happens a lot. The computers were down at the airport also. We also had bought our seats but they said that did not matter it would be open seating. But I must say it sure did seem like a good idea and a very nice airport.Hi Bill,I was impressed

Gret story by Clive today, click here. The thing the Salter School need to go was to rename themselves Salter School CDC and add in some low to mod income housing and they would have gotten anything that they wanted from the Zoning Board of Appeals.On a serious note I don't really know the whole story so I am not taking sides. My point is I only wish the ZBA was as tough when a CDC comes in

Here's information regarding the CVS.I talked to CVS' Director of Real Estate for this region. She said that, with the acquisition last year by CVS of the over 500 California based Long Drug Stores for $3 billion, CVS now has over 7000 stores to manage in the USA.CVS intends to open the new Park Avenue (at May St.) store on January 24, 2010.

Why has it not opened yet? Anyone know???I have been told it has something to do with their occupancy permit?? Strictly unconfirmed, but something along the lines if they get an occupancy permit now they need to pay taxes for the whole year but if they wait until January 1st--they will save alot of money????Again strictly rumor. Anyone out there know what is going on.
