Jim McGovern looked up at the 30,000 square foot brick building at 2 Ionic Ave. in Worcester on Tuesday morning. Within the walls that date back more than a century, the congressman representing Massachusetts’ 2nd District was reminded of the trips he made to the building as a child.
At that time, the city knew the building as the Boys Club. It welcomed nearly 2,000 boys daily for swimming, basketball, boxing, chess and other activities. McGovern said he learned how to swim in the pool at the facility.

About 25% of Worcester’s population have received at least 1 one shot of a COVID vaccine as numbers still hover higher than officials would like
Updated Apr 01, 2021;
New week-over-week cases in Worcester dropped, but officials remain wary that the number has plateaued at a level that is too high.
City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. announced on Thursday 311 new cases in Worcester this week, 40 fewer than the previous week. The number, though, remains higher than the weekly total announced a month ago at 261.
“It’s good that we’re seeing a decrease but we’re hovering in the higher number of weekly new cases than I think any of us would like,” Augustus said.
