Economic Development
Welcome to the greater Fitchburg area nestled in the rolling hills of North Central Massachusetts. Strategically located in the center of New England with an excellent highway and railroad network, the greater Fitchburg area is well positioned to conduct business with New Hampshire and Vermont to the North, Connecticut and Rhode Island to the South, New York State to the West and the city of Boston a mere 38 miles to the East. Fitchburg's close proximity to the world class universities of Harvard, MIT and Tufts allows area business owners access to some of today's brightest minds. A dynamic force in Fitchburg, Fitchburg State College shares leadership roles and resources to further strengthen the Fitchburg economy and community.

The greater Fitchburg area is renowned for its plastics, paper, furniture and machine tooling industry. And more importantly, the industriousness and creativity of the people living there.

Unitil provides retail electric and natural gas service to customers in North Central Massachusetts. Electric service is provided to all or portions of the communities of Fitchburg, Townsend, Lunenburg and Ashby, and gas service to customers in the communities of Fitchburg, Townsend, Lunenburg, Ashby, Westminster and Gardner.

North Central Massachusetts is in the midst of an expanding economy. The boom of the Technology sector along Routes 128 and 495 and the dramatic rise of the Bio-tech industry in near-by Worcester has sent out economic ripples into the Fitchburg area. With a highly skilled work force and inexpensive manufacturing space, the greater Fitchburg area is becoming a coveted location for manufacturers.

The exponential economic growth in the area can be attributed to the commitment by public and private agencies to work closely with businesses and industry looking to relocate or expand their facilities here.
