What's Happening in Newburyport, MA…

Newburyport, located in Essex County in the state of Massachusetts, is approximately 35 miles northeast of Boston. Newburyport’s history is closely connected to the sea and even today, much of the economy is still based on the maritime industry. The town was first settled in 1665 and over the years prospered and expanded so that in 1852 it was awarded city status.

Newburyport became a thriving centre for shipping, fishing and shipbuilding with three shipyards situated near the mouth of the Merrimack River. There was also a successful silverware industry based in the city. The industrialist and merchants that brought prosperity to Newburyport built fine homes and buildings commensurate with their wealth and the prosperity of the community.

Newburyport’s fortunes changed dramatically so that by the 1970’s a plan was about to be passed which would have razed most of the downtown area, where most of the historic buildings were located, and replaced them with modern shopping malls, hotels and stores. Fortunately, at the last moment the city decided against the plan and opted to modernize without destroying the historical buildings. The regeneration has been so tastefully done that Newburyport is often referred to as an example of how to maintain a city’s heritage and architecture without sacrificing its ‘livability’ and functionality. There are zoning regulations to protect the environment and a local Print company will be able to produce a sign or banner that complies with local regulations to direct visitors to these establishments.

Tourism plays a large part in the local economy and businesses involved in this sector include museums, historical sites, together with leisure facilities and accommodation providers, and food outlets. These businesses need to promote themselves to visitors and local Print companies supply attractive postcard printing and Posters to assist them.

At the same time as downtown was being revitalized the city also had the foresight to build an industrial park that now contains many small businesses covering a variety of trades in self-contained units. To help these businesses along the road to success local printing companies produce eye-catching Catalogs or Brochures printers describing their products or services.
