Massdevelopment Helps Lawrence Communityworks Assess Brownfields In  
Second Phase Of Union Crossing

MassDevelopment has provided a $28,450 grant to Lawrence  
CommunityWorks to help it assess contamination at a brownfields site  
on the Duck Mill property in Lawrence. The $29 million redevelopment  
of the Duck Mill will be the second phase of Union Crossing, a new  
downtown Lawrence mixed-use community with new housing, commercial  
and open space that preserves and adapts the historic mill buildings  
in a National Register Historic District. The second phase will add  
71 units of affordable housing and 20,000 square feet of commercial  
space.



"Union Crossing's public-private partnership has made the Duck Mill a  
model of historic redevelopment," said MassDevelopment President and  
CEO Marty Jones. "This grant lays the groundwork for the next phase  
of restoring this key Lawrence parcel."
