Retail realities face Lawrence as South Iowa project moves forward
City planners back the South Iowa Street retail center and see no tax abatements requested, while several officials worry about market balance and location. The plan would bring 32 new businesses, eight restaurants and one hotel, with anticipated $1.1 million annual sales tax by 2017 and $2.1 million by 2020, and a boost to property tax rolls. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission reviews the rezoning and city and county approvals, amid calls to steer growth toward other sites.
