LAWRENCE, Mass. — The basement at 1 Parker St. is bustling. About a dozen workers here, all with developmental disabilities, sort hangers into piles of small, medium and large. Others, wearing hair nets, quietly count out 50 styrofoam bowls at a time and put them into plastic bags. A middle-aged man expertly solders wire.
Today is a busy work day at CLASS/ARC of Greater Lawrence - something leaders here would like all the time. A major work contract for the non-profit agency is soon drying up and leaders here are now looking for replacement work for the many disabled adults in the Merrimack Valley and beyond they serve.
