Lawrence

In Lawrence, Great Neighborhoods is working with Groundwork Lawrence,
Lawrence CommunityWorks, the North Canal Coalition and the City to revitalize the North Canal District through smart growth activities. The work will focus on providing active transportation – biking and walking options – that will connect residents to emerging economic opportunities in the downtown. Vacant mills are being re-used to create new mixed-income housing and commercial units, and work is ongoing to provide green space along the city’s river ways.
