Lawrence eyes westward growth with new apartment project
Plans filed at City Hall propose annexation and rezoning of about 160 acres southwest of the Bob Billings Parkway and South Lawrence Trafficway interchange. The first phase could add around 2,000 apartment units with a later phase for about 600 single-family homes. Lawrence attorney Dan Watkins represents the ownership group led by Don Hazlett, seeking rezoning for the apartment portion now and separate approvals later for single-family development.
