About the YWCA of Central Massachusetts
Worcester, MA
This long awaited $24 million renovation will update systems and deal with differed maintenance and repairs to provide program participants with a facility that meets current requirements for safety, comfort and accessibility. Consolidating and optimizing the current square footage will expand capacity, improve security and advance the ability of YWCA to provide more effective and efficient services.
The timing for the planned renovation couldn’t be better. With its prominent downtown location, YWCA has been identified, along with the abutting Worcester Public Library, as a “key destination within the District” in the City of Worcester’s Downtown Urban Revitalization Plan, submitted to Housing and Urban Development in April 2016. YWCA’s planned renovation helps to visibly integrate the facility into this fast-developing area of Worcester’s downtown revitalization, making YWCA a welcoming and accessible community resource. YWCA renovations fit squarely in line with the City of Worcester’s revitalization goals.
