Regional Roundup
Question of the Week
Tuesday we asked: Central Massachusetts institutions like the EcoTarium in Worcester are receiving more requests from Boston-area companies to provide benefits like free passes to their employees, since more of their employees are living in this region.
Are you interacting with Boston-area companies and residents more than you used to?

  • The locals are doing a lot to increase services and such here without going to Boston. Boston parking is out of sight.
