Lawrence shelter audit flags revenue shortfall and tax issue
Lawrence shelter faces a 2016 budget challenge after an audit shows a drastic revenue shortfall since moving to a larger 125-bed facility in 2012. The shelter owes back payroll taxes to the IRS, later paid with private donations, and plans a reserve fund over two to three years while seeking broadened funding from neighboring cities.

Menard project eyed for VenturePark in Lawrence
Brian Iverson and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden tout a Menard campus at VenturePark a public incentives package and tax abatement for a 90 acre site with brownfield remediation. The plan would add about 100 to 150 jobs with starting wages around 14.61 per hour and build a distribution and production complex serving Menards stores in Kansas and western Missouri. Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard predicts first anchor tenant momentum and a public hearing set for Jan 5 ahead of a Jan 5 vote by the Lawrence city commission.
