WORCESTER – From now through October, residents and visitors can find what they’re looking for in downtown Worcester by following tear drop-shaped decals.
The Downtown Worcester Business Improvement District has installed 22 sidewalk decals pointing the way to downtown landmarks, restaurants, shops and more.
Downtown Worcester BID received a $75,000 grant this spring from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism to cover the costs of the decals.
The decals are part of a pilot project and will be in place for three to six months to test the decals’ durability to see if they will stay up in the winter.
As ThisWeekinWorcester.com reported earlier this month, the BID also installed wayfinding maps in the downtown area. Altogether, the wayfinding program includes about 50 sidewalk and storefront window decals to direct visitors to downtown destinations.
