Carlisle Road's Cynosure Looking To Move 200 Jobs To Westford

Carlisle Road-based Cynosure wants to bring 200 jobs to Westford, and they’re asking for help..

Cynosure Executive Vice President Timothy Baker was before the Board of Selectmen on Tuesday asking them to pursue a Tax Increment Financing, or TIF District, comparable to the 2011 TIF District pursued by Red Hat to aid in expanding their campus near the corner of Littleton and Concord roads.

The company is one of the world’s leaders in cosmetic laser related products, has been acquiring related companies in the field over the past few years, hoping to use the TIF funding to facilitate making room for  employees from one of those acquired companies, Palomar of Burlington.

Baker’s request centered around a walkway that would connect the current Cynosure building at 3 Carlisle Road with an adjacent building the company hopes to lease.
