Nashua has three main commercial districts. Centered on Main Street near the geographic center of the city, Downtown Nashua is the oldest of the commercial districts, featuring commercial, entertainment, and dining venues, near historic commercial buildings and homes as well. Recent plans have incorporated the [[Nashua River]] into the design of a pedestrian-friendly walkway. The downtown Nashua Riverwalk is a large, public/private venture funded through the use of [[tax increment financing]] (TIF). Amherst Street ([[New Hampshire Route 101A|Route 101A]]) is in the northwestern part of the city and is a large thoroughfare with commercial centers along both sides. The South Nashua Commercial District, centered on [[Daniel Webster Highway]] near the Massachusetts border, is anchored by the [[Pheasant Lane Mall]], attracting many people from [[Massachusetts]] taking advantage of the lack of [[sales tax]] in New Hampshire.

The city is home to a number of technical firms, including [[Nashua Corporation]], which took its name from the city and river. Nashua Corp. was a leading producer of [[floppy disk]]s through the early 1990s, making the Nashua name well known in the world of [[personal computer]]s.
