Is this pasta shop first food vendor at Worcester Public Market?
The Harding Green development at Kelley Square includes the Worcester Public Market and 48 rentals units.
Plans for the Harding Green development at Kelley Square appear to be coming together in advance of its September opening.
Developer Allen Fletcher's $21 million project will include 48 apartments and the Worcester Public Market.
The news last week that Wachusett Brewery would open a 3,000-square foot taproom included this description of what the market would be, according to an article on MassLive:
"The market will be a multi-vendor, food-oriented market in the European tradition, featuring a wide variety of retail food establishments, Fletcher said. Fresh produce, pasta, seafood, deli goods, bakery items, ice cream and a wide variety of ethnic foods will all be sold there."
