Earlier this week I had an enlightening discussion on the current and future development of my hometown Worcester, Massachusetts, with its Town Planner, Joel J. Fontane, Jr. Mr. Fontane was very kind to speak with me especially with such a busy schedule, dealing with all the new construction and revamping of the downtown area.
Not having much knowledge of what goes into the planning and development of a town, it was a pleasant surprise to hear all the small details that go into making a city “as vibrant a city as it can be with the highest quality of life it can provide for its residents. You want it to be a good place to live, a good place to raise a family” (Fontane).
