THE FUTURE:
Already the home of more than 3,500 business and professional firms,
the Waltham area has room to grow and offers many advantages to new
and relocating businesses. Waltham ranks third, after Boston and Cambridge,
in development as a result of its stable economic base and the pro-business
attitude of local government agencies.
The entrance to the new Riverwalk Park in downtown Waltham is prime
for growth along the banks of the Charles River. New zoning allows
for a variety of commercial uses, including mixed-use projects and
opportunities for new establishments, particularly retail and hospitality
businesses.
The Waltham West Suburban pro-business public sector is active in
assisting commercial growth and business relocation by streamlining
the permitting process and keeping municipal fees low. Taxes are also
low and commercial lease rates are better than in Boston and many
of its suburbs. All in all, the atmosphere is one of cooperation between
local governments, businesses, and property owners working for a better
community and metro region.
