Freight is coming. It’s been in the works for some time. A long time. It’s purposely being kept on the hush due to NIMBY concerns. The past has shown that NIMBY groups have a lot of power in Worcester politics & MassPort isn’t taking any chances. Don’t expect any major press, just flights showing up all of a sudden. Let the NIMBY’s put 2+2 together after it’s already started. Much harder to stop then. Before you ask, no I won’t share any further details until MassPort is ready.
If you want ideas, take a look at the Fiscal ‘23-‘27 from MassPort for ORH. A lot of those projects have cargo written all over them. Expect Andy Davis & others to Openly deny any plans or expansions until they outright announce them. Hell he openly denied it to me last time we spoke. But others in the know aren’t so tight lipped.
Hint: Greendale Mall…it’s still Empty…they say it’s quote “in our future plans
