Don’t move City Hall from downtown Lawrence
Bob Schumm argues against relocating City Hall from downtown Lawrence, citing decades of investment, planning, and improvements that solidify the area. He recalls 1980s battles to deter a suburban mall, recounts redevelopment of police, courthouse, arts center, library, and downtown churches, and urges the City Commission to keep City Hall downtown while exploring other development sites and preserving the district’s vitality.
