Overview

Located just 12 miles north of Boston and boasting the desirable quality of life factors such as award-winning schools and outstanding Town services, Reading has always been known as a great place to live but it's also an excellent place to do business. Situated between two major highway systems (I-93 and I-95/Route 128) and along a major MBTA commuter rail route, Reading offers great access to the region and to Boston.

In the Town of Reading, our approach to Economic Development includes:

  1. Keeping downtown vital.
  2. Preserving what's important.
  3. Being queued up for opportunities. We are committed to promoting private investment by supporting existing businesses and attracting new ones. 

With streamlined permitting, flexible zoning options, and a team of economic development professionals by your side, Reading is prepared to welcome your business and ensure its success within the community.
