“We found the Town and Chelmsford to be a great community that really valued business. They were extremely helpful as we were navigating the purchasing and permitting process. We met with Lisa [Marrone] and others during this time, and everyone’s attitude was pro-business and ‘what can we do to help’. We like the 129 Corridor for its proximity to the highway and also for the ability to attract employees from Chelmsford and the surrounding towns.”

“I’ve seen what the Center Village Overlay did for the town of Chelmsford, and now with the Business Amenities Overlay District, I see it as a real opportunity and … the next big thing.”

“The Cross Roads at Route 129 is proximal to major arteries without being as high cost as towns closer to Boston. Chelmsford has responsive and knowledgeable Town officials, good infrastructure, and networking associations. The Town supports its businesses and it shows.”

“Chelmsford offers recruitment opportunities for many industries. If you’re looking for talent, it’s often determined by the businesses located nearby. Fortunately, Chelmsford and neighboring communities have that in spades, making it easier for local companies to find qualified, stable employees.”

“The Overlay District immediately captured my attention. I saw that Chelmsford is a town that is serious about supporting and putting a focus on the business/commercial segments of the community. Chelmsford has an open-door policy when it comes to listening to the business community. From top to bottom, they are receptive and engaged.”
