This scrapbook contains information and news about the coalition called “Lawrence Into Action” which is a combined effort of local businesses in Lawrence aiming to beautify the city through projects like cleaning the canals, planting trees, and designing and implementing a city welcome sign. The overall goal of the coalition was to encourage economic development and tourism by framing Lawrence as a historical city. Articles from publications like the Eagle Tribune and the Boston Globe mainly describe the efforts of this coalition, including failed efforts, plans in progress, and the significance of plans that were accomplished. Articles listed the goals including which buildings would be demolished and which were being reconstructed, as well as which old structures were the biggest ‘eyesores’ in Lawrence, one of them being the former trash station seen from Route 495. Members of this coalition famously argued for the demolition of certain mills, noting that this destruction was needed in order to develop the city while preserving other, more historically important structures.
