EN Engineering Leaves Lawrence For Olathe Lease Move
EN Engineering, with about 65 employees paying roughly 60 000 to 100 000 annually, sought a Lawrence site amid options on Delaware Street East Hills Business Park and 23rd Fairchild Farms. Leaders pledged to keep the firm in town, but the company chose a vacant building in Olathe after negotiations faltered. Local officials blame limited time and buyout talks, while some private sector voices say more could have been done to seal a deal. EN Engineering, formerly Wheatland Systems, designs automation systems for energy sectors and expanded due to oil and gas footholds. City reporter Chad Lawhorn.
