Worcester drafting new rules for bodywork spas, amid trafficking concern

WORCESTER – Nicholas Antanavica, the city's inspectional services commissioner, shared a number during the Monday, Nov. 9, Board of Health meeting that likely caused some in the room to take notice. He said an estimated 25 and 30 illegal bodywork businesses, on average, are operating in Worcester at any given time, adding that it's generally recognized that such businesses are sometimes associated with human trafficking. For that reason, Antanavica told the board, the city wants to develop regulations to make sure bodywork establishments are permitted and licensed, regularly inspected, and safe for customers. He shared draft regulations with the board on Nov. 9, adding that there are legitimate bodywork businesses in Worcester among the 50 to 75 that are believed to be operating in the city. "Without knowing the full extent, it's a serious issue everywhere," said Antanavica when asked after the meeting to assess the seriousness of human trafficking in Worcester. "We want to help make sure that it's not sustained in Worcester, and that's why we're doing [the regulations]." He told the Telegram & Gazette that his department has worked with police to conduct surveillance of some bodywork businesses, and he believes police may have taken action against

At old O'Connor's, a menu of legal troubles and $82K in owed taxes | Exclusive

(Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the status of the building.) WORCESTER – A mortgage lender is suing the owners of the now-shuttered O'Connor's Restaurant & Bar, alleging, among other complaints, that they owe thousands in taxes to the city and are not doing enough to attract a buyer. The lawsuit is one of two being litigated against Kyle and Dennis Maxwell, the operators of Carlow Clove Inc., which owns the closed eatery at 1160 West Boylston St. The father and son duo took over O'Connor's in 2022 from Brendan and Claire O'Connor, who had operated the restaurant for more than 30 years . The noted restaurant shut down unexpectedly in March , a week before St. Patrick's Day, due to a damage from a burst pipe, the Maxwells said on social media. Since then, the once-bustling building has sat empty while rumors have swirled about who might purchase the parcel. During a recent reporter visit, the restaurant appeared frozen in time, complete with signage advertising the week's specials. Only a portion of the black wooden sign that reads O'Connor's was out of place, having fallen and now resting against the entryway. "I've heard all sorts of

Kraft Group proposing to build data center campus in Sutton

SUTTON – A proposal to build multiple data centers on property off Boston Road and Providence Road will come before the Select Board on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to a memo submitted by Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz. The campus would feature 10 buildings canvassing 250,000 square feet each, with the first two buildings opening in 2029 and another two opening each year until the project is complete in 2033, according to the proposal. The Unified Global Packaging Group and The Kraft Group, of which Unified is part, are behind the proposal, the memo states. The project would be built on part of Unified Global Packaging's Unified Parkway property . "At full build-out the campus would draw roughly 900 megawatts of power and represent more than $16 billion of private investment by the developer's estimate, several times the $2.8 billion in assessed value of all property in Sutton today," the memo reads. The Kraft Group – run by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his sons Jonathan and Daniel Kraft – is a group of privately held companies that also includes Worcester-based Rand-Whitney, which was previously owned by Jacob Hiatt, the father of Robert Kraft's late wife, Myra.

Home of the Week: This 1966 deck house in Sudbury for $1.15m is a nature oasis

This four-bedroom home is a perfect example of why pre-fab deck houses were popular in leafy suburbs. Driveways are utilitarian constructs. But sometimes they serve a greater purpose, like the gravel version that winds, tree-shrouded, to this deck house sitting in a verdant clearing — a hardscaped source of serenity.

By undercutting gas pipeline expansion, Massachusetts risks making an energy affordability problem worse

FOR MANY MASSACHUSETTS families, their energy bill is not an abstract policy issue. When energy costs rise, households may have to make painful tradeoffs between keeping the heat on, buying groceries, filling a prescription, or paying rent. As the leader of a trade association representing the natural gas industry, I am watching with growing concern as Massachusetts policymakers promise a clean, affordable energy future, while proposing policies that make both goals unattainable.
