Douglas County approves Quantrill Acres replat and park fate
The Douglas County Commission approved replatting Quantrill Acres east of Pleasant Grove turning 5.2 acres into a buildable lot amid resident opposition over a park on private property. Commissioners signed a budget notice for a 2007 tax mill levy of 30.026, with values possibly raising taxes, and a Lawrence High School track received 24 hour resurfacing during summer maintenance as it closes for repairs.
