Lawrence Mayor Dan Rivera has set his resignation date for Jan. 8. That means the city of Lawrence must now hold a special election.
The city council would need to hold a special election within 90 days of Rivera stepping down, according to city ordinances. The winner of the election would serve the remainder of Rivera s term. However, the city council may seek to bypass the special election with permission from the state.
Rivera would be entering the final year of his second four-year term leading the city. He is leaving his position to become CEO and president of the state s development arm, MassDevelopment.
