Antique resurgence and riverfront redevelopment in North Lawrence
Town Talk notes a revival in antiques boosting local commerce as Jon Davis leads rehab plans for a North Lawrence area, including a riverfront boardwalk and Johnny's Tavern rebuild. The project seeks extensions to 2013 to decide on a purchase, with tied redevelopment stalled by economy and lease signaling. Nearby, a mobile home park at 827 Walnut St faces private redevelopment into single family homes after city action over environmental violations and shut down living conditions. City talks with Mark Bowden and park owner in California continue, with cleanup costs and possible special assessments. The town also adjusts Eagle Bend Golf Course prices to reflect electric carts and higher lease costs, with modest increases to nine and 18 hole rates on weekdays and weekends. City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.
