DIGITAL OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM
Giving local food-based small businesses
the digital tools to compete!
As we gear up to re-launch our newly renovated Revolving Test Kitchen (RTK) this summer, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our
Digital Optimization Program!
The Digital Optimization Program will give businesses access to
free or subsidized digital technology tools, including new or enhanced websites, social media programs, contactless technology, CRM and financial management systems, and online ordering systems.
Businesses will also have access to food-based industry workshops and individual consultations with industry experts.
The program is now accepting applications!  
Independently owned food-based businesses in
Lawrence, Andover, North Andover, Haverhill, Methuen, and Boston are encouraged to apply.
The Lawrence Partnership was honored to welcome Secretary Kennealy of the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development to Lawrence for a small business roundtable announcing the launch of our Digital Optimization Program. The small business roundtable discussion featured local restaurant owners sharing their experiences and insights as they endured the economic burden brought by the pandemic.
Thank you to Lawrence Mayor Kendrys Vasquez, Representatives Christina Minicucci and Frank Moran, and Senator Barry Finegold for joining us and supporting the launch of the Digital Optimization Program.

Volunteers Welcome!
