Renaming of Chandler Street

Just a quick update on the petiton that circulated to the business owners on Chandler Street regarding the renaming of Chandler Street (from Main to Park Ave) to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Approximately 25 small business owners signed the petition against the name change stating that their reasons being first; the historical background (John Chandler), secondly the financial burden and lastly the inconvenience.

The CBA would like to thank those small business owners for taking the time to address this issue and support the decision. It was decided that the petition FOR the name change was denied. It now appears that the another street within the City of Worcester - Central Street is being looked at for the name change.

It's nice to know that you do have a say in the community.



Again, thank you for your support.
