Upgrading sidewalks, creating bike lanes, improving the streetscape and providing access to the river could help make Powder Mill Road a more active and viable economic engine.
That is the idea behind an $80,000 grant the towns of Maynard and Acton received from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, which provides technical assistance to help create a redevelopment strategy for the area.

Zoning is haphazard and includes seven zoning districts. Acton’s portion of the study area is zoned as the Powder Mill Zoning District. Maynard’s portion of the study area includes a Business, a Downtown Mixed-Use Overlay, an Industrial, a Single-Residence a General Residence and a Garden Apartment District.
