Kobach weighs options on meat shop near Lecompton
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Douglas County residents opposed to a specialty meat shop near Lecompton weighed options after county commissioners granted a conditional use permit. The Burning Barrel, a 640 square foot shop on 30 acres at 292 North 2100 Road, was approved for Lawrence chef Brian Strecker. Kobach owns a metal building on 160 acres nearby and spoke against the project while noting no definite plan to appeal. Residents are left considering possible next steps.
