Developers bank on attracting national retailers in town
Developers press for a large mixed use project anchored by three big buildings and seven smaller ones in Lawrence. Plans call for about 350000 square feet of commercial space, with a 184640 square foot retail cap set by city zoning. Phased construction over years aims to ease traffic and fit downtown needs while limiting retail to protect downtown merchants. Community groups note the cap helps neighborhood concerns as planning moves toward city approval.
