Brandt Haehn, former Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services commissioner, was terminated from Amerigroup Kansas Inc. after a woman accused him of sexual misconduct from 2016 while he led in home and community services. The victim, Jennifer Gill, says he solicited sex and offered a job, with explicit messages and a video. Gill filed a Kansas Human Rights Commission complaint on February 27, naming employers, not Haehn personally.
City officials consider a development that would replace the Journal World facility with four buildings and a parking garage. The World Company property at Sixth and Massachusetts would be sold to a group led by Mike Treanor. A two phase market study projected 100000 annual visits for a conference center downtown, but councilman Herbert urged data to avoid perpetually funding the project.
Mayor Leslie Soden warns against treating the project as an arms race with other Kansas centers as commissioners back a market analysis. Attorney Paul Davis says a Lawrence center would anchor downtown and invite weekday visitors, while Downtown Lawrence Inc supporters say it would boost local businesses through sustained weeklong activity.
The Treanor led development seeks a downtown grocery store and apartment project with incentives including a special financing district and a $2.25 million no interest loan. City staff caution on funding gaps and revenue implications, while officials debate loan viability and overall economic benefits for downtown.
