“The New Bedford area is one of superlatives – tastiest seafood, the best waterways, and the friendliest people. The quality of life as well as the variety of cultural, economic, geographic and educational advantages provides a progressive atmosphere, rich in heritage and opportunity. New Bedford’s proximity to metropolitan areas makes it one of the most desirable places in which to live, work and play. New Bedford is one hour from Boston; half an hour from Providence and Newport, Rhode Island; an hour from Cape Cod; and a departure point for passenger ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard and Cuttyhunk.”*
