Welcome to Worcester Border Signs

At a glance

  • What: Satya B. Mitra asked the City Manager to consider 'Welcome to Worcester - Heart of the Commonwealth' and 'Leaving Worcester - Come Back Soon' signs at major entries along the borders with Auburn, Holden, Leicester, Millbury, Shrewsbury and West Boylston (potential locations attached).
  • Where it stands: adopted as amended 9-1 on 2026-10-06 (King opposed, Bilotta absent).
  • Next: report pending.

Amendments

  • Mitra's amendment to send it to the Traffic and Parking Committee instead was not put.
  • Kathleen M. Toomey added a request to use previous street-signage plans and reports.

Debate

  • Mitra said earlier reports took no action.
  • Khrystian E. King opposed because the Council had rejected immigration-enforcement signage for lack of money (see Civil Immigration Enforcement Signage).
