Mill Redevelopment In Rural Massachusetts Why There? And Not Here?, Center For Economic Development
Center for Economic Development Technical Reports
The purpose of this work is to identify both the obstacles and successful strategies of mill redevelopment in rural Massachusetts. While redevelopment has occurred in the historic industrial corridors of the Blackstone and Merrimac rivers, it has been largely absent in rural areas of Massachusetts.

Our research has found that there are several obstacles that exist in rural areas that make mill redevelopment particularly challenging. However, …
