Politics and the City: Advocates want more from Green Worcester Plan
WORCESTER The City Council last week tabled a report on the latest draft of the Green Worcester Plan.
But local environmental advocates didn t wait to give some feedback on the plan, which was developed over the past year with the goal of making Worcester one of the most sustainable and climate-resilient midsize cities in the U.S. by 2050.
Speakers Tuesday coupled praise for elements of the draft plan with criticism that it doesn t go far enough.
The Green Worcester Plan lays out sustainability goals across several sectors of city government, including green building, water management, emissions, waste and food resilience.
WORCESTER Trinity Financial unveiled a glimpse into how they converted the old Worcester County Courthouse into a mixed-income housing project on Thursday.
Courtrooms will soon be used as living units and community spaces for tenants of the new Courthouse Lofts. Rooms that date back to the Civil War era will soon be lit with brand-new light systems.
The first tenants are scheduled to move into the apartment complex next week, Trinity Financial Vice President of Development Michael Lozano said. Tenants have already signed leases on 85 of the 118 units at the project, Lozano said.
The third and fourth floors of an annex will be the first floors where tenants can move in. The first and second floors of the annex are expected to open two to three weeks later. The older portion of the building will be opened later in February and early March.

There are 118 units in the new Courthouse Lofts and 85 of them are already filled via pre-leases ahead of the former Worcester County Courthouse’s redevelopment completion.
A portion of residents will begin to move into some of those units next week. For most, it will be their first time seeing the building as the majority of residents have been signing their leases without visiting the property.
Michael Lozano, vice president of development for Trinity Financial, the real estate development company overseeing the project, shared the news Thursday in a tour of the new lofts to city officials. Representatives in attendance from the city’s administration included City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr, City Councilor Candy Mero-Carlson and Chief Development Officer Peter Dunn.
