The
City of Lowell Mass is the fourth largest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and its strategic location at the intersections of Routes 495, 93 and 3,
provides excellent access to all points of interest in Massachusetts as
well as New Hampshire and Maine.
Commuter rail also provides an easy
40-minute ride to Boston's North Station. Residents claim Lowell's National
Park as this country's greatest tribute to the Industrial Revolution and
the textile industry that boomed in New England in the nineteenth century.
The rehabilitated mill buildings are further complemented by 2 1/2 miles
of trolley and canal boat tours and several museums. The 3200-seat Lowell
Auditorium hosts many of the country's best performers at affordable prices.
The Merrimack Repertory theater, which is also located in downtown Lowell,
is one of the few self-sustaining repertory theater groups in the northeast.
The 19th century mill buildings provide
an excellent opportunity for low-cost acquisition and rehabilitation for
small and large companies. The city offers many unique financial incentives
to encourage new growth and development. The city's workforce is computer
literate and strongly supported by the local school district, which has
just completed nine new schools and five school rehabilitations. The education
base also includes Middlesex Community College and University of Massachusetts
at Lowell. The student population further enhances the market for retail
businesses in downtown Lowell and its surrounding neighborhoods.
Lowell Mass is located in Northeastern
part of Massachusetts, bordered by Dracut on the north, Tyngsborough on
the northwest, Chelmsford on the southwest, and Tewksbury on the east.
Lowell is 25 miles north of Boston; 45 miles north of Worcester; 100 miles
south of Portland, Maine; and 229 miles from New York City. |
