Creative Economy: Will it fly in Worcester?
Submitted by mauro on July 31, 2008 - 10:27am.
WCCA TV, public access, is an important, vital part of the Creative Economy. WCCA TV facilitates a free speech platform which represents a free flow of information which any creative economy depends upon. WCCA also encourages citizen participation, civic engagement, open dialog, fresh and diverse ideas essential to creativity and an creative economy. We hope our city leaders ( councilors and administration ) are opened minded to the value of WCCA TV, as we share the following good news from MAASH.
One sure fire way to show support for a creative economy in Worcester is to demonstrate real support for WCCA TV. We are still without a long term commitment from the city to continue the tremendous public service and resources we provide to benefit all of Worcester. The public access agreement expired in January of 2007, a new cable contract was signed in Spring of 2008. It will be August first tomorrow and WCCA waits, in good faith, without a long term contract, for a message that the city will encourage this creative component of Worcester's economy.
We hope the creative economy flies in Worcester.

You can actually look at an impact calculator that demonstrates the economic impact of creative businesses and nonprofits on the economy of Worcester--a free resource from the New England Foundation for the Arts. Check out www.CultureCount.org
