City plans drainage projects face costly future purchases
Lawrence city officials push ahead with the Stormwater Master Plan to reduce flood damage by acquiring easements or properties for new drainage lines. Morton's Building Materials site at 900 E 15th is a top priority, with a projected cost of at least 2.25 million and potential ten years before completion. Negotiations with Morton's center on possible easements while open to full buyouts remain cautious. Concurrently, smaller high priority projects along 29th Court, Ridge Court, and Ninth and Vermont are being designed with a combined 395000 cost, financed by existing drainage fees.
