Robert Bilotta District 2 City Councilor

Robert Bilotta District 2 City Councilor District 2 City Councilor. You deserve a Worcester that is affordable, has quality city services, & is safe to live in.

This won’t happen unless your city councilor is accessible, listens, & is accountable to you, not special interests. Born and raised in Worcester, I grew up on the East Side and come from a civically engaged family where being involved in the community was important. I graduated from North High in 2004 and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Urban Studies from Worcester State

University in 2010. As your City Councilor, I will bring that same dedication to you and everyone in District 2.

Last week I visited the Worcester Regional Food Hub at Union Station and met one of the vendors. For close to a decade the food hub has helped grow Worcesters food scene by supporting food entrepreneurs and small businesses. The food hub has helped over 100 businesses launch and succeed by providing access to commercial kitchens and hands-on training in business development.

I am so happy for my friend, Cesar Rodriguez

Cesar has been selected for one of the five summer creative residencies at The Prior Performing Arts Center, at the College of the Holy Cross, through their scholarship in action program. Go check out his incredible work!

From
-His documentary film project, “Abstract Beast: Creative Freedom Through Assistive Technology,” will explore his journey as an artist and inventor despite the challenges of adaptation resulting from disability. Through footage that revisits his early work in realism, his pivot to an abstract approach and the resulting development of his assistive painting system, this documentary will ultimately showcase how assistive technology can empower others with disabilities to create.

“As an artist with a physical disability, my work is rooted in adapting to limitations while continuing to create,” said Rodrigues. “I aim to document the relationship between intention, communication and ex*****on, highlighting how artistic control can exist beyond physical limitations.”

Last week, local disability rights advocates gathered to celebrate a big win for accessible affordable housing in Massachusetts. The Governor’s Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, recently adopted amendments to the Qualified Allocation Plan, which governs awarding of housing subsidy programs, and outlines how the state awards and administers federal and state, Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) each year. This amendment mandates that properties with elevators, using state Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), will have to include 10% accessible units. This decision comes after several years of advocacy work, led by disability rights advocates from Your Access Advocates (YAA), formerly Center for Living & Working. This is great news for housing accessibility in Massachusetts and will support the development of hundreds of accessible, affordable apartments, across the commonwealth. As a YAA board member, I’m incredibly proud to be a part of this work.

For Immediate Release 5/29/26

Violence on the Worcester common, or in any Worcester neighborhood, is unacceptable. For a city of over 200,000 Worcester is a safe community. Crime rates are down in Worcester in large part, due to the work of WPD, Worcesters Quality of Life team, and our neighborhood groups.
It takes a proactive approach to address public safety issues. After hearing public safety concerns from Canal District residents and Businesses this spring, I coordinated a meeting on April 10th with City Manager Eric Batista, Chief of Police, Paul Saucier and Central Mass Housing Alliance, to discuss expanding police presence and clinical outreach, to unhoused individuals in the Canal District and downtown area. Progress on these initiatives is ongoing.

Downtown Worcester is moving in a positive direction. The Worcester Public Library has programs and resources for all ages, in addition to drop in hours for social services. The Downtown Business Improvement District is expanding year round cultural events. The Canal District remains a vibrant hub of small businesses.

As a community and council we need to acknowledge and address the underlying public safety issues of mental health, substance abuse and the lack of transitional housing. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood and downtown. I will continue to work with our City Administration, police department, and service providers to address public safety concerns and help those in crisis.
