The North Central Massachusetts Development Corporation (NCMDC) recently approved a $50,000 loan to Jason Midwood owner of Pasta Mani, a start-up fresh pasta restaurant and retailer in the newly constructed Worcester Public Market. 

Jason has over 24 years of experience in the food service industry, including producing fresh pasta for the Ethan Stowell Restaurants in Seattle. Jason is translating this experience to his new restaurant Pasta Mani in the Worcester Public Market making hand made pasta dishes and to-go pasta options.
