Two-fold Brochure

Welcome to the Town of Charlton Economic Development Marketing Brochure. This brochure is sponsored by the Charlton Economic Development Commission (EDC) with funding support from Southbridge Savings Bank. 

The goal of this brochure is two-fold. First, to offer information regarding key commercial an industrial development opportunities along Charlton's Route 20 corridor. The second related goal is to highlight key existing corporate entities which make-up the base of Charlton's existing economy; these large-scale businesses may complement or augment companies which may wish to locate within the undeveloped corridor parcels highlighted in this brochure.

Brochures are available at the Charlton Municipal Offices, 37 Main Street, Charlton as well as other establishments around town. For more information, contact the EDC at the Town Hall Planning Office at 508-248-2237.
