Welcome

Worcester Local First encourages retail and business-to-business consumers to "think local first" when buying goods and services. We view the future of Worcester as positive and exciting. As we all know, Worcester has a long tradition of being at the heart of our region, both economically and culturally. The Heart of the Commonwealth boasts several fine colleges, a lively political climate, an ethnically diverse population, many world-class cultural institutions, and several business- and family-friendly neighborhoods.

We have myriad dynamic assets. Near the top of this list, are the thousands of locally owned, independent businesses. In addition to the many long-time businesses that we have come to know and love, Worcester has encouraged and witnessed an upsurge in the birth of new entrepreneurial ventures based here.
