WORCESTER, Mass.- On this edition of Voice of Business from the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce on Talk of the Commonwealth – Andy Davis, Worcester Regional Airport talks about what’s happening at the airport. The airport is planning to build a 44-acre, 20-megawatt solar farm, which will be one of the largest solar projects at any airport in the country. Davis says “It’ll be probably one of, if not the largest solar farm in Massachusetts and certainly one of the biggest solar farms at any airport in the country.”
The American Eagle flights have returned to the Philadelphia hub, which provides more connecting opportunities for passengers compared to the previous New York JFK route.The airport has significant capacity to handle more passenger traffic, with the terminal and runway infrastructure designed to accommodate over 350,000 passengers annually. There are also plans to expand the parking. “The forecast for most of the airlines have been downgraded for passengers. But the good news is we haven’t seen that at Worcester and nor have we seen it at Logan. So there’s still a strong demand.”
