Alumnus will buy land, drop legal case against Anna Maria College
PAXTON – An Anna Maria College alumnus who alleges the college reneged on a promise to gift him part of the campus has agreed to drop his claim and buy the land, court records show. David Roy of Paxton, who sought in August to bar the college from selling 2.4 acres he claimed was rightfully his, reached an agreement to buy the plot for $175,000, court records show. Roy, whose parents owned the college’s food service for three decades, has presented evidence in court that Anna Maria offered to gift him the land in 2023 to “right” an unspecified “wrong,” but ultimately reneged. A Worcester Superior Court judge last summer barred Anna Maria from selling the disputed land, and his lawyers this summer asked a judge to find he held “equitable title” to it and prevent the college from selling it. The college, citing lack of interest, canceled its bankruptcy sale of the entire campus last month, noting at the time it planned to sell 2.4 acres to an unspecified bidder.

5 Best Restaurants in Worcester, Massachusetts You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Worcester, Massachusetts — a city where red-brick mills line the Blackstone, where the laughter of college students mingles with the wisdom of old-timers, where the scent of garlic, soy, and woodsmoke drifts through neighborhoods stitched together by memory and migration. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: triple-deckers, Victorian spires, and the gentle sprawl of new ambition. Worcester is a crossroads — of Irish pubs and Vietnamese bakeries, of Polish delis and Dominican grills, of artists, nurses, teachers, and families who gather in parks and on porches, sharing stories and meals beneath the wide New England sky.
