Business owners in the MetroWest area of Massachusetts can count on the legal services of the Katz Law Group, which is located in Westborough.
Business Attorneys for the MetroWest Area
MetroWest is the area in Massachusetts between Boston and Worcester. The term was coined in the 1980s by local media outlets. The precise boundaries of the MetroWest region are a little vague, with numerous definitions that include as few as nine or as many as 26 towns. All agree that the area includes the southern tip of Middlesex County. They disagree how far it stretches out into Norfolk County and Worcester County.
For example, the MetroWest Chamber of Commerce serves a core area that includes:
- Wayland
- Sudbury
- Framingham
- Natick
- Marlborough
- Southborough
- Ashland
- Sherborn
However, its services also expand into the following surrounding communities:
- Maynard
- Concord
- Lincoln
- Weston
- Wellesley
- Dover
- Medfield
- Millis
- Holliston
- Hopkinton
- Westborough
- Northborough
- Berlin
- Hudson
- Stow
Meanwhile, the MetroWest Daily News states that it covers the following towns:
- Ashland
- Framingham
- Holliston
- Hopkinton
- Hudson
- Marlborough
- Natick
- Northborough
- Shrewsbury
- Southborough
- Sudbury
- Wayland
- Westborough
- Weston
While there are some discrepancies, the general theme is the same: MetroWest is the area between the cities of Boston and Worcester, and is centered towards the westward side of the wedge between I-95 and I-495.
