Ford names Mark Fields as CEO in leadership shift
Ford announces Alan Mulally will retire July 1 with Mark Fields succeeding him as chief executive. Fields, named COO in 2012, faces stock valuation pressure as Ford forecasts pretax profits of 7 to 8 billion this year and launches 23 new vehicles including a redesigned aluminum F-150. Analysts say stock upside hinges on the F-150 upgrade and plant retooling.

Menards project in Lawrence stalls amid delay chatter
A Menards store planned for 31st and Iowa streets in Lawrence remains delayed as officials await public improvement plans after zoning approval in June. Menards confirms progress, citing technical details, while city planners say no major obstacles exist beyond plan review.
East Lawrence expects nine month Menards build start
City officials must review plans before a permit is issued, likely taking about four weeks. Edwards cites nine to 10 months to complete construction, with open date hopes riding on spring home improvement surges. Changes to Menards plans include a smaller lumberyard and location shift, prompting questions about a scaled down store in Lawrence. Decade coffee shop opens at 920 Delaware, using reclaimed wood and space lit by natural light, with plans to add soups and sandwiches. The Poehler Lofts redevelopment spur, Warehouse Arts District growth, and a new 40 unit loft near Poehler progress toward ground breaking in the coming weeks.
