Systems and hosting for Ashland's small firms, from Pond Street to downtown
Routes 126 and 135, on the Worcester Line
Does Kief Studio work in Ashland? Yes.
Most Ashland businesses are small, and the town's own economic development plan says the largest share of them, by count and by employees, are in office and business services or contracting and construction. Kief Studio builds the scheduling, job tracking and customer systems firms like that outgrow spreadsheets into, then hosts them on LTFI. The studio is in Shrewsbury.
That plan splits Ashland's commercial land into three zones: downtown around Pleasant Street, the Route 135 corridor, and Route 126, which locals call Pond Street. The town has spent years pushing a MassDOT rebuild of Pond Street from the Holliston line to the Framingham line. Ashland's commuter rail stop is on the Framingham/Worcester Line, the same line that ends in Worcester, the city next to Shrewsbury.
