LAWRENCE- eXplore Lawrence, along with The Chamber of Lawrence, Downtown Lawrence Inc., and the Lawrence Restaurant Association invites local businesses, organizations, and residents to take the Lawrence Promise. The Lawrence Promise is a commitment to keeping residents, employees, and visitors safe from COVID-19.
