Why this layer matters
This region keeps the Massachusetts guide moving east from Sturbridge. It lets Worcester take on a real public anchor role, adds Auburn, Massachusetts as an on-route town in the same stretch, and keeps the corridor moving east without forcing a much broader MetroWest or Boston-side guide.
