Kief Studio

Software and hosting for Hopedale's business park and town center

Route 140 and Route 16

Does Kief Studio work in Hopedale? Yes.

Hopedale's 2023 master plan estimates 253 businesses in town with about 2,260 employees, from small shops to several large industrial employers. Many of them work out of the Airport Industrial and Business Park in south Hopedale, where more than 40 buildings range from big industrial spaces to small office units and vacancies are few.

The plan's advice to the town is to clear permitting barriers and make it easier for companies to grow. Kief Studio, in Shrewsbury, does the same thing inside a business: fewer manual steps between an order, the job and the books, a website that stays current, and systems hosted on LTFI so the owner is not the one patching them.
