The City of Fitchburg
Massachusetts is a community of 41,000 people located in north-central
Worcester County. Despite being the second largest city in the county,
Fitchburg retains its small town flavor. Fitchburg is noted for its old
mills that line the Nashua River, its hilly topography and regional parks
and its tightly knit neighborhood enclaves that, in many cases, still retain
their ethnic identity.
Among the city's cultural assets
are the Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg State College and the world famous
annual Longsjo Classic Bicycle race. Fitchburg is located just 10 miles
from New Hampshire and 50 miles from Boston, with excellent access via
highway or MBTA commuter train to all points.
The former reliance on the paper
industry in the community has given way to a healthier economic diversification
which now includes pharmaceuticals, tool and die makers, machine manufacturers,
plastic molders and textile producers.
