LECTURES

Many have called The Hanover Theatre a catalyst for the revitalization and rebirth of Worcester. Welcoming over 170,000 visitors annually, it has had significant economic impact, and is beginning to create a vibrant and exciting cultural destination in central Massachusetts. Join a lively panel featuring Craig Blais, Worcester Business Development Corporation’s president; Tim McGourthy, city of Worcester’s chief development officer; Jim McKeag of Davis Publications representing the Downtown Neighborhood Alliance; and Deborah Packard, Preservation Worcester’s executive director as they discuss the positive changes that have taken place since the theatre’s opening in March 2008. Questions and dialog from the audience will follow the presentation.
