Menards wins city approval for large Lawrence store
Home improvement chain Menards won city land use approvals Tuesday for a 190000 square foot store and outdoor lumber yard east of Home Depot at 31st and Iowa. City officials praised the project as a positive economic step while opponents worried about whether residents’ incomes can support more retail. Construction could begin in 2014 with a possible spring opening.

Regents set to vote on KU tuition increases today
Kansas University and other state universities face tuition and fee hikes as the Kansas Board of Regents votes on proposals. Lawrences campus seeks 4.4 percent rise with 65 percent of returning undergrads exempt from increases under the four year tuition compact, while the Medical Center would gain 7.6 percent for Kansas residents. Nonresident increases are 4.7 percent in Lawrence and 6 percent at the Medical Center. Gov Brownback’s cuts to higher education prompted higher tuition figures, with Lawrence projected to raise 7.8 million to support operations.
