OU R CIT Y

Blessed with a rich history and energized by an ambitious vision for its future, Clark’s home in the heart of New England abounds with opportunities to live, learn, and play. New England’s second-largest city, Worcester is a hub for biotech, higher education, health care, and the arts, and is home to a thriving “pop-up” culture featuring concerts, exhibits, and food events. The city will be home to Polar Park and the Worcester Red Sox minor league baseball team in 2021. If you want to roam farther, it’s a short ride to Boston and Providence, and about three hours to New York.
