Community Drop-In Center to Move to 10th and Kentucky
Lawrence city commissioners approve a tie permitted upon review for a homeless drop-in center at the new location with a five year permit including annual staff review and monthly reports. Center promises strict behavior policies. The planning items cover a Sixth Street turn lane project linked to a mixed use development as Lawrence seeks state funds and a benefit district plan. The council also considers a branch library study and opposes a new US 59 alignment with a Topeka meeting set for December 15.
