The state is bolstering L’Arche Boston North’s planned transformation of the former A-1 Deli in downtown Haverhill into a new a café that will promote workforce development.

The Executive Office of Economic Development last week awarded $150,000 to the nonprofit’s efforts to expand its culinary arts program, staffed by adults with intellectual disabilities.

As WHAV reported last spring, L’Arche plans to build on its “Homemade Hummus” and small culinary program at All Saint’s Church.

Targeted to the project called, the L’Arche Learning Cafe: A Pathway to Culinary Careers for All Abilities, the money comes from the state’s Community Workforce Partnerships Grant Program, aimed at supporting “local economic priorities and collective problem-solving.”
