The Town of
Blackstone is located approximately 40 miles southwest of the City of
Boston, just north of the Rhode Island border. Situated in the historic
Blackstone River Valley, the community reflects a natural beauty and a
rustic landscape with classic New England characteristics. Residential
and commercial development is well balanced through reasonable growth
control regulations, providing for a pleasant environment for all
residents. Fifty-three percent of the land is not developed, therefore
providing considerable growth potential for commercial, industrial and
residential expansion, while at the same time allowing a commitment to
open space preservation. When several residents were asked to describe
Blackstone, three words recurred: "quaint, friendly and historical."
