About the Orange, Massachusetts Area  Unlike the other towns in our market area, Orange, MA (like Warwick to the north of it and New Salem to the south) is located in Franklin County. The town covers a little over 35 square miles, with a reported population of 7,475, in keeping with its rural character. Like Athol, the Millers River runs through the town, which aided its history as a traditional New England mill town (see satellite map here).
Orange was home to the very first automobile factory in the U.S., the Grout. The facility where these cars were produced is now home to the headquarters of Pete's Tire Barns.
 Orange is very proud of their own Ralph C. Mahar Regional High School, which was named one of America's Best High Schools for 2009 by U.S. News and World Reports! The aerial photo shown here shows the impressive campus. Kudos to the faculty and staff whose hard work was recognized with this prestigious award.
Orange boasts an active municipal airport, which is well-known as a meeting spot for parachuting enthusiasts. The Orange airport is unusual for non-military municipal airports in that it has a well-kept runway that is 5000 feet long. Private pilot training is also available.
Orange is also the home to the North Quabbin Region's very own local radio station WJDF 97.3FM. The Deane brothers who own and operate the station do a fantastic job of providing information and entertainment to area residents. Fred (pictured on the far right) is also quite a golfer. When you are in the area, tune in and have a listen!
Our favorite Orange, MA restaurant is the Tea House. They offer many kinds of Asian cuisine and offer fast, friendy service at affordable prices. A nice spot to stop if you are in town.

Self Employed >Moving And Taxes
Even with the changes in tax laws over recent years, you may be able to deduct some of the expenses of a move that is the result of a change in your job.
You will probably be able to deduct the costs of your move if your new work location means more than an additional 50-mile commute, if you move within a year of taking the job at the new location, and if you work full-time for at least 39 weeks (the total is 78 weeks if you are self-employed). You should keep meticulous records of all of your expenses and consult a tax expert to make sure that you take all the lawful tax deductions allowed by the IRS criteria for expenses related to selling your old home or buying your new one. The IRS publication No. 521 entitled "Tax Information on Moving Expenses" makes good reading before you make a move.
