Metro West continues to grow and prosper and is the second largest employment base in the state. These 35 cities and towns are in Middlesex, Norfolk and Worcester Counties. These Communities share geography and transportation infrastructure and grapple with similar challenges and opportunities related to infrastructure, transportation, housing, water resource, and wastewater, among other issues.

Many of the largest companies in Massachusetts are headquartered in MetroWest, including: Analog Devices, Bose, Boston Scientific, Cognex, Dunkin' Brands, EMC, MathWorks, One Beacon Insurance, and Staples.
