"The projects the local delegation championed offer a snapshot of the area's priorities and a glimpse of what Boston's northern suburbs will look like in the coming years.... Democratic State Rep. Harriett L. Stanley worked with members of the delegation to secure funding authorization for more than $6.5 million in infrastructure improvements in Groveland, Merrimac, Newbury, West Newbury and Rowley, ranging from sidewalk construction in Rowley and Merrimac to repair or replacement of the Route 1-A bridge over the Parker River in Newbury." - Boston Globe, North, August, 2004
