ERA Key Realty Services Worcester Agents Assist with Winslow Park Project

Worcester, MA – ERA Key Realty Services proudly acknowledges the recent community efforts put forth by two of the firm’s real estate professionals in the Worcester branch. Luz Gonzalez and Jennifer Solin, local Worcester residents, have been actively involved with the arrangements for the creation of Winslow Park on Pleasant Street. The group these agents belong to, Women Together, has been instrumental in making the park a reality.
Women Together was formed in 2003, following the murder of a young person in the downtown Pleasant St. neighborhood of Worcester. The group came together with the objective to stop the violence and make the area a better place to live. It was the untimely death of another young person in 2006 that prompted another member of Women Together with the idea and design of re-creating Winslow Park. Winslow Park had previously been vacant and abandoned for the past 30 years. The park will serve as a memorial for youth who lost their lives to violence - a “neighborhood peace park”.
Gonzalez and Solin have been active in planning and coordinating arrangements for the Winslow Park project through Women Together and through their involvement with ERA Key Realty Services. ERA Key encourages its associates to engage themselves in charitable giving, teamwork, and community services and gladly recognizes the efforts being put forth by these agents.
Although the construction stage has started, donations are still needed and appreciated. Anyone interested in donating to this worthy cause can do so by mailing a check made out to Women Together to Ines Beron, Women Together Coordinator, at 301 Pleasant St. Worcester, MA 01609.
ERA Key Realty Services is a locally owned franchisee of ERA. With 9 offices in Central Massachusetts and Metro West and 290 licensed agents is among the top 10 companies in ERA nationwide and one of the top 5 real estate companies in Massachusetts.
