City to mall leasing Riverfront Plaza top floor
The Lawrence City Commission weighs leasing a wing on the Riverfront Plaza top floor for the Planning and Development Department and municipal court. Staff estimate about 850000 in tenant improvements and higher annual costs, but the move would add roughly 40 percent more space and colocate divisions for better service. The plan serves as a test before any full property purchase.
