Economic Development
The idea for Beltane Hill was born in 2001 from a public–private cooperation between the community’s demand for economic opportunity, and the need for new business space for AzureGreen.  AzureGreen is a low-impact, non-polluting, internet and mail-order company, which has been harmoniously operating in Middlefield since 1991. As of 2002, AzureGreen employed 22 people, and contributed $1.8 million to the Massachusetts economy. (In addition to its national and international purchases, AzureGreen spent $937,000 in Middlefield, $484,000 with firms within 30 miles, and $438,000 with firms elsewhere in Massachusetts.) AzureGreen is a prime example of why Middlefield was noted as the best in job creation performance, of the 7 surrounding towns analyzed in a Market Study done for neighboring Chester.
The construction of Beltane Hill begins in 2008.  Continuing our commitment to supporting the local economy, we have enlisted the construction expertise of:
