Developers propose industrial park for Douglas County
The County Planning Commission will hear the request on November 19. Approval from both the Planning Commission and Douglas County Commission is required. Lawrence City Commission approval is unnecessary. Schwada cites prime location with quick access to the Turnpike and K-10, minimizing needed road upgrades. Lynn Parman of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce says the project could attract new industry, noting Douglas County’s 250 acres of ready industrial property as a current but insufficient supply for long-term growth.
