No Decision On Request For New Levy In Douglas County
The Lawrence economic development committee has not decided if a levy up to one mill will be sought to boost selected industrial development. Chairman Bill Salome said full discussion has not occurred since last June and no recommendations are expected for two months or more. The plan aims to attract research and development firms and may start with an inventory of land within about 12 miles of Lawrence, potentially using private capital to acquire sites. The committee would urge county commissioners to levy up to one mill only as a last resort.
