Turnhalle fate brightens with planned purchase by developer
Tony Krsnich of Warehouse Arts District aims to buy the Turnhalle, built in 1869, from the Lawrence Preservation Alliance and explore public uses such as a beer garden, bowling alley, performance space, or restaurant. The LPA invested about 170000 dollars in repairs and faces a 1 million dollar commitment, while city grants and a Ninth Street arts corridor bolster the project and taxpayer support. Krsnich has 60 days to review the building before finalizing the contract, as Lawrence celebrates preservation efforts and community history.

Mayor to reduce Lawrence police force next month
Lawrence mayor W J Francisco announced the police department will be cut by one officer after this month amid a push to adjust staffing following the police car introduction. John Scott, who runs the car, was added earlier and trains others to operate it as speed enforcement concerns fade with expected compliance. The water shortage looms for the University of Kansas with potential closure of the summer term as Potter Lake supplies dwindle and utilities urge conservation amid cuts to large users and railroads.
