Hey neighbors!! Starting 7/23/17, we’re kicking off a new initiative called Community Office Hours. Two board members will team up each month to host conversations in public spaces and businesses around the community.

Your feedback and suggestions are critical to keeping Lawrenceville great. YOU - our members and residents -- offer invaluable perspectives and insights about the day-to-day realities and big-picture concerns affecting the neighborhood.

That’s the good stuff and we want to hear it! To do this, we need to be where you already are and in the places you love. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just moved to the neighborhood, let’s chat!
