Subjects: Urban renewal -- Massachusetts -- Lowell.; Lowell (Mass.) -- Economic conditions.
First sentence: Today, Lowell, Massachusetts is thriving; it is home to Natinonal Historical Park and a Massachusetts Heritage State Park which draw thousands of tourists to the city, and it boats a number of high-tech manufacturers -- giants, startups, and intermediate-sized firms -- which have helped to lower the city's unemployment rate to well below the national average.
Description: Traces the transformation of Lowell from depressed post-manufacturing blight in the first half of the twentieth century to a new identity as a thriving center of high-tech research and innovation in the 1970s and 80s.  Discusses the role of federal grants, public-private partnerships, and local initiatives in revitalization efforts.
