I-93/Lowell Junction Development Area Background
The Interstate 93 Tri-Town Interchange Development Area represents one of the largest concentrations of employment in Northeastern Massachusetts. Situated between Exit 41 (Route 125) and Exit 42 (Dascomb Road), achieving an interchange in this location has the potential of opening up hundreds of acres of currently landlocked and underutilized land as well as allowing for expansion of existing industries in an area which is constrained by poor access to the interstate.
