Acton and the surrounding area have the 5th largest per capita income in the U.S. making it attractive for commercial growth. Acton's highly educated workforce has always offered a pool of local talent for area growth companies and industries. Today our residents work with leading-edge companies in high-tech, financial services, and biotechnology.
Acton is located in the heart of the high-tech corridors, five miles from I-495 and ten miles from I-95 (128), but protected from the daily rush hour traffic. State and local routes 2, 2A, 27, 62, and 111 conveniently service business and commercial access through town. The MBTA train stop in South Acton provides service for Boston, Cambridge, Waltham, Concord, and Fitchburg.
Acton's 20,000+ residents give priority to its schools, which are ranked in the top 2% statewide, recreation programs, and libraries. Families and businesses are attracted to a pleasant quality of life with a wide range of amenities, activities, and entertainment including restaurants for every taste, fashion clothing shops, performing arts, a jazz cafe', and a nearby golf and ski area. West Acton Village, Kelley's Corner, and Route 2A offer convenient services.
