Lawrence is on pace for a record low in single family building permits through June with 19 permits issued, down nearly 40 percent from 31 at the same point last year. Builders had set a 2024 record low and are on track to break it, with market uncertainty shaping the limbo of hammer and nails.
Lawrence city commissioners and residents questioned proposed 2026 fire and medical department cuts during a work session. The draft budget from City Manager Craig Owens keeps a flat mill levy, reduces citywide funding by 6.4 million dollars, and adds 2 million to the reserve fund, with bike and pedestrian projects under discussion for next year.
Douglas County District Attorney Dakota Loomis asked the county commission for more than $215,000 to fund two full time positions in the 2026 budget. The request totals $217,430 and aims to ease the heavy caseload faced by the office.
The Kansas Corporation Commission approved Evergy plans to build two 710 MW gas plants in Sumner and Reno Counties and the Kansas Sky solar facility in Douglas County. EKC will own half of the gas plants and full ownership of the solar plant, with Evergy Kansas Central customers facing about an 8.6% bill increase to fund the projects. Approval does not guarantee construction of the Kansas Sky Energy Center.
