One Lowell to discontinue operations

October 11, 2011 by DickH Posted in Current Events, Lowell 2 Comments

It looks like One Lowell, the ten-year old advocacy organization for newcomers to our city, will be shutting its doors soon. Here’s part of a notice that went out earlier today via email:

After careful study, the Board of Directors has determined that our remarkable programs require a parent organization with a geographical scope and depth of funding that exceeds our capacity. We realize that ONE Lowell has a unique mission and our intention is for that mission to continue. We are working diligently with our non-profit partners to find a sustainable home for our programming.

As of November 1, 2011, ONE Lowell will discontinue operations.

    It’s up to other organizations and citizens to adopt some of the mission of One Lowell. I would suggest looking into developing the Smith Baker center into a cultural arts venue as one step in that direction.
