South Lawrence development plans filed near Wakarusa River
Douglas County planning records show Michael Flory proposing rezoning 29 acres at the southwest corner of U S 59 and Leary Road from agricultural to commercial. First phase would be a storage unit complex resembling houses, followed by a neighborhood convenience store and future unplanned commercial growth. The move aligns with anticipated sewage plant expansion, new four lane highway work, and renewed broadband studies by the city. City also switches internet provider to KanREN for faster service at lower cost, with bids from AT&T Knology and Wicked Broadband. AT&T launches 4G LTE in Lawrence.
