It's no secret that operating a business in Boston is far more expensive than it is in the Worcester region.
But as of yet that price differential hasn't been enough to drive a huge influx of businesses to see Central Massachusetts as the new frontier for growth.

John Palmer, a resident of Sudbury, worked for Cambridge-based biotechnology powerhouse Biogen Idec for 17 years before retiring last fall. But as president and CEO of a startup called Vanguard Solar, he said he wants no part of the exorbitant rents and time-wasting traffic of Cambridge, and wishes instead to establish his operation once and for all in Central Massachusetts. |
