 Main Street Streetscape Project Completed
Lawrence Township has concluded a $201,782 contract for decorative streetlights and sidewalks, benches and bicycle racks in the historic Main Street area. Work included new sidewalks and driveway aprons affecting Main Street and adjacent parts of other roads.
 Most recently, the new street lamps were turned on, brightening the village area. This work was enabled by a $275,000 Federal grant administred through the state Department of Transportation. Main Street and municipal initiatives were essential to planning this. This follows the repaving of Main Street completed earlier. Mayor comments favorably: Ribboncutting and more information.
