HIGH TECH HIGHWAY: In the 1950's, Route 128 was built around Boston from Braintree in the south to Gloucester at the northern end of Massachusetts Bay. The new highway brought with it the development of high-tech industries and a second industrial revolution to the Waltham area. In fact, the Route 128 corridor, often referred to as the "High-Tech Highway," represents one of the nation's first and now largest concentrations of such industries, particularly in research and development, and computer hardware and software production. A growing number of multinational companies are joining concerns such as GTE, Microsoft, Lycos, Polaroid, IBM, Raytheon, and Thermo Electron in Waltham West Suburban's expanding high-tech business community. |
