Lawrence gains second Kansas congressman amid westward growth
Lawrence now sits in two congressional districts after annexing about 1000 acres in Kanwaka and Clinton townships, with Rep. Vince Snowbarger in the 3rd District and Rep. Jim Ryun in the 2nd. Plans for rapid development west of 13th Street include dozens of homes, a Corpus Christi Catholic Church campus set for 2000, and potential annexation of 1200 more acres along Sixth Street as voters await reapportionment in 2002.
