"As we begin to move forward, learn and grow as a community, we must do so in an organized manner," city officials announced Tuesday afternoon. "During the past few weeks, the City of Lawrenceville has worked to accommodate those wanting to express their emotions through impromptu marches and gatherings in the City.

Therefore, from this day forward, demonstrations and/or any organized public events must go through the standard approval process as set forth by City ordinance."
