Leicester, Massachusetts is located
Central Massachusetts, bordered by Paxton on the north, Auburn and Worcester on
the east, Charlton and Oxford on the south, and Spencer on the west. Leicester
is 46 miles west of Boston; 48 miles from Providence, Rhode Island; and 172
miles from New York City. Principal highways are State Routes
9, going E-W across the state, and 56, which runs N-S. The Massachusetts
Turnpike (Interstate 90) passes near the southern boundary of the town and
is easily accessible. Passenger rail service is available to all points on the Amtrak network
through neighboring Worcester.
|
| Leicester recently recognized that there will be certain spill-over effects
of regional growth, particularly since this is an abutting community to the
City of Worcester, and at the town meeting overwhelmingly passed critical
zoning changes that would be conducive to second level industries such as
machine tooling, plastics, and hardware products for the high-tech and
bio-tech companies. These companies will find somewhat less expensive land
and a lowered amount of competition for acceptable parcels.
Large areas of the community are covered by lakes, ponds and streams.
There is a high percentage of land holdings in the town owned by public
entities which have reserved them for water supply or airport purposes.
This provides an opportunity for regional recreational development. Trails
for hiking, equestrian and biking use which link across the whole region
are being extensively developed. In addition, historic pride is taken into
account as Leicester seeks inclusion in the Blackstone National Heritage
Corridor, a significant recognized National Park Service historic project.
Leicester serves a need within the region for passive recreation, a vital
component of the quality of life of the region's citizens living, working
and touring the area and will continue to do so in the future.
Leicester has lost hundreds of manufacturing positions as the textile
industry disappeared. It is clear that Leicester continues to depend upon
Worcester, the second largest city in the Commonwealth, as a source of
employment for its residents. The retail trade and service industries
appear to offer the opportunities for realistic expansion of the present
employment base.
It is also clear, however, that the economic strengths of the greater
Worcester economy both now and with its growth potential over the next few
decades will serve to buttress the needs of Leicester in terms of available
jobs for its residents and further will likely cause the expansion of
Leicester's commercial and industrial base with small firms functioning in
relation to the needs of industry and the region. |
