‘Still the best thing in Worcester’: A decade of growth transformed the Canal District; Plans for 2021, beyond build off that momentum

A decade isn’t long in a city like Worcester, which began its history under British rule.
But within a few square blocks of the Canal District, the last decade created a lifetime of change.
Turn back the clock to 2011 and the landscape of the city’s most bustling neighborhoods is unrecognizable.
Kelley Square - without a peanut - remains one of the state’s most dangerous intersections. A vacant dirt lot sits where the Worcester Public Market now welcomes hundreds of people daily. North, up Green Street, Crompton Collective, Birchtree Bread, Smokestack Urban Barbecue are yet calling the District home.
