Peaslee Tech and Tenants to Homeowners collaborate on building small homes with plumbing electric heating and cooling towed to sites around Lawrence for use as affordable housing. Plans include a cottage community on Ward Street with two lots and potential denser neighborhood living. Future classes may build homes in three modular pieces to ease moving and reduce crane use.

Lawrence County approves NRA tax incentives for downtown redevelop
Lawrence County commissioners split on a proposal tied to the dilapidated downtown site. Doug Compton’s development group seeks a 65 percent property tax rebate to move First Management and First Construction staff from North Lawrence and add up to 21 full‑time positions. Commissioner Patrick Kelly weighed the building’s 2011 vacancy and past neglect, but supported the deal citing redevelopment potential despite prior litigation. Commissioner Karen Willey joined in approving the incentive, with Compton stating the project would boost downtown and the city overall.
