Working Cities Lowell/Coalition for a Better Acre

The Working Cities Lowell Initiative is a partnership consisting of 13 partners lead by the City of Lowell and Coalition for a Better Acre, working with all residents and business owners to improve the Acre neighborhood of Lowell. The partnership formed with funding from the Working Cities Challenge grant program administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. The Acre was chosen as our target neighborhood because of the high levels of poverty and diversity.

Coalition for a Better Acre is the backbone agency for the Initiative.
