Steering Mill Towns Closer to Tech-Boom Riches

The article features information about the redevelopment of many mill towns in Massachusetts. The high-tech craze has mainly bypassed these towns, sans for those that are within the Boston metro, but the low-cost-of-living among other factors are spuring interest in these areas. Interesting read!

The paper version had a graphic included.
