Old Home Town in 1985 Lawrence renewal study eyed
The Lawrence Urban Renewal Agency urged the City Commission to fund a 10 000 to 20 000 study to see if the downtown mall footprint remains slum and blight. North Lawrence and parts of downtown meet statuary slum criteria, aiding possible condemnation of the 600 block. Turmoil in Lawrence concerns West Co plastics about a 3 to 4 million plant, with no firm timing. In 1910, eight jack rabbit heads and 19 crow heads were turned in for bounty payments in Douglas County, totaling 217 for the year.
