City pushes tax rebate for KU district apartment project
Lawrence city commissioners approved an 85 percent 10 year Neighborhood Revitalization Act tax rebate for a $75 million Indiana Street apartment retail project near Memorial Stadium. The 237 unit complex with 13,000 square feet of retail would be Lawrence's largest stimulus yet, featuring what the developer calls the state first automated parking garage. The 3 2 vote fell short of the developer's 95 percent 12 year request, raising questions about precedent and eligibility.
