These industry men, while they were not too pessimistic about our prospects, did feel that Tewksbury was on the outside of the industrial perimeter unless a circumferential highway, such as the proposed Route 110 was built.
The realtors supplied us with complete questionnaires to be completed regarding attractive land sites for industry in Tewksbury.
We are now working to complete these questionnaires. When they are completed they will be sent along to Boston.
