API Foils expansion and roundabout project eyed in Lawrence
The plan includes a 4 million dollar expansion at API Foils in East Hills Park to lift production about 25 percent and add five to 15 new jobs by 2015. A dual lane roundabout at Wakarusa and Inverness drives moves to bid June 4 with construction possible July to November, while eminent domain may affect right of way and traffic will be slowed but kept open in parts.
