Town of Tyngsborough is a municipal government serving a residential community of about 12,500 people in the Northwest section of Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The town operates under an Open Town Meeting model with a Select Board, and a Town Manager oversees daily administration, supported by an Assistant Town Manager. It lies in the Merrimack Valley and has experienced substantial residential growth while preserving its rural character, positioned between neighboring Massachusetts towns and New Hampshire communities. A prominent local landmark is the green-painted single-arched iron bridge over the Merrimack, built in 1931 and serving as an emblem and important river crossing for residents on both sides. The administration is led by Town Manager Colin F. Loiselle and Assistant Town Manager Katharine Foster, overseeing a staff of several dozen employees. The town serves residents directly and engages with regional neighbors in the Greater Boston area on cross-border matters. Notable recent developments include a 2023 partnership with Wreaths Across America to secure a location for the program, a 2020 arrangement with First Point Power to reduce energy rates through municipal aggregation, and the 2020 launch of online trail maps to improve safety.
