Shelter project moves toward funding goal amid covenants doubt
A Lawrence shelter seeks to move from its current site to a former warehouse east of the Douglas County Jail as fundraising proceeds. Trustees for the local business park say covenants bar a homeless facility, while shelter leaders argue covenants cover appearance, not use. If a purchase proceeds, legal action could follow to challenge the restriction. The plan would triple usable space to about 15 000 square feet with classrooms and dining and add 10 000 square feet for a workforce training program.

She cited Iran backed extremism and nuclear risks as factors accelerating urgency while Hamas rejected the talks and Ahmadinejad dismissed them. Netanyahu and Abbas set a second round in Egypt for mid September with biweekly meetings to follow, as lower level talks continue on concessions.
