Not to be understated, Metro West encompasses the economic engines of Lowell and Framingham, to the stretch of the Mass Pike companies that contribute greatly to Massachusetts coffers,
north to the fast-developing towns just south of New Hampshire. Some of these suburban communities are embracing low-impact development and the kind of city planning that keeps carbon footprints low and
protects communities from the environmental hardships of urban sprawl.
