Lawrence visitors bureau seeks funds to keep center open
The Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau asks the city for nearly 44000 to keep the Visitor Center at the North Lawrence Union Pacific Depot open, citing a cash flow crunch from slow hotel guest tax revenues and an omitted 2003 budget line item. Judy Billings cites a software error and says 692 people used the center in 2001. The request would draw from Visit 2020 reserves, with city officials weighing impacts on the sesquicentennial budget and alternative funding from the bureau’s own budget.
