What’s the plan for City Square in Worcester?
I know the city square project has been on hold for a while but my question is, is it completely cancelled now or do they still plan on moving forward with “City Square” eventually? It would really help out poor downtown Worcester! It has so much potential but there’s no big draws, its disappointing.
Does the city square project include any new highrise buildings? For such a thriving New England city, Worcester’s so-called skyline is lacking. Even smaller, less important cities like Hartford and New Haven seem to have a better “look” than Worcester, and its really too bad.
Worcester’s downtown is a hole, though many of the neighborhoods are better than those in other cities. The last I heard the, City Square plan included a few mid-rise buildings (6 to 10 stories) but no high rises. I think it has been put on hold due to the economy
Hartford is home to many insurance companies that require huge office buildings. New Haven is also home to many buildings that require larger buildings as well.
Let’s face it, Worcester has a much lower crime rate than either Hartford or New Haven. Worcester is better off than those two cities despite the crappy skyline. I’d rather live in Worcester than than those two CT cities

Planning A Second Story Addition
Planning is the key when taking on a home improvement project. Before you plan your second story addition it is important that you research what obstacles may need to be dealt with. For starters, before the project begins you must first get approval from your city planning or building department. Once the project begins, you should be prepared to move out of your home during the major stages of remodeling because they will interrupt every function in a home. These are just two examples of steps that need to be taken during the planning process.
With regards to obtaining approval from your city, you should know that ordinances vary widely from city to city. In general, they all dictate how much square footage can be added to a home, how much of a lot can be developed, how high a home can be built and even how much of a neighbor’s view or sunlight the new construction can block. This may be a time consuming process because often times your second story plans will require a city council meeting or other public hearing.
The age and condition of your home are also important aspects to consider when deciding to add a second story to your home. Your home may need some strengthening in order to withstand the weight of the new addition. It may require strengthening of your foundation and walls. Depending on you region, it may help to add seismic or wind-resistant construction to the walls, framing and connections. Furthermore, you may need new load bearing walls, a floor space robbing staircase and you may need to take off your old roof. All of these aspects require planning.
Further considerations involve your existing heating, cooling and hot water systems. If you add a second story to your house then your current HVAC systems probably won’t be sufficient for the added square footage. You will probably have to upgrade your electrical and plumbing system as well. And while we are on the topic of upgrades, you should consider upgrading the look and feel of your existing home to match new materials used in your second story addition.
There are several ways to go about handling the actual project. Some home owners bring their own architects and engineers to the job. However, sometimes the project gets messy this way because there isn’t one single person overseeing everything. It may be best to hire a contractor as a single point person to handle such an extensive job. He will oversee everything from design, through engineering and to completion. If the contractor doesn’t have a design team or engineer on staff, sub-contractors will be hired by him to get the job done.
