September 14-2022 — Pizza businessman and major real estate developer Sal Lupoli was joined by Governor Charlie Baker, Mayor of Lawrence Brian de Peña and other elected officials for the official opening of the rooftop Pavilion Field at Riverwalk in Lawrence. This is a beautiful rooftop turf field on top of a new 1,200-car parking garage overlooking the river and Lawrence’s historic clock tower.

The family foundation of local real estate and pizza mogul Sal Lupoli recently pledged $500,000 to Northern Essex Community College, a gift that will help NECC open a new school of hospitality and culinary arts next year.
