There are many unsung heroes in Worcester's zero-fare WRTA push, but one of the first and strongest is Anne, who got enough key people into the same room to kick off an organized effort - in between all her other work. Very excited to see this recognition, congrats!

With an expansion on the horizon, on the surface, the future never looked brighter for an iconic Worcester pie maker. Privately, the nearly 100-year-old company was navigating a looming downward spiral. masslive.com/worcester/2022…
