I am originally from Worcester but I have spent the last 6 years right outside of it in the Blackstone Valley area (southern Worcester county). If you google Blackstone Valley, you will find a bunch of towns that were formerly mill towns, but many of them are being built up with new schools, fire, police, etc. Many people are coming this way from Boston North and South. Where I live, we have access to major roads such as 495, Mass Pike, Rt.20, 146. The beauty about Mass and depending where you are located here, you are typically under two hours to both beaches and mountains. Personally, I hate the cold here but this past summer in July and into August it hit the 90’s. It was humid and felt like Florida, so don’t let our cold fool you. As far as politics in this area, my neighborhood is predominantly red, but the towns themselves are predominantly blue. You won’t find much red in this state. Welcome to Massachusetts ☺️
