Ethanol future at crossroads amid prices and policy
Wichita AP reports ethanol producers face market and regulatory pressure despite lower ethanol prices. Officials note a blend wall as demand or mandates fail to rise, threatening small high-cost plants like Colwich's Abengoa closure in 2011. Industry voices warn of drift toward dependence on fossil fuels.

Lawrence plans seniors rental townhomes behind United Way
Tenants to Homeowners proposes a 14 unit rent controlled senior living development on 2 acres at 2518 Ridge Court in south Lawrence. The plan seeks RM-12 zoning to replace RS-7 and would house 55 plus residents in one and two bedroom townhomes with a focus on renting rather than selling to preserve seniors equity for healthcare and expenses.

Senior housing project eyed on city land with 80 percent M I cap
The county plans to donate land to Tenants to Homeowners for a senior only townhouse project with below market rents for those earning 80 percent or less of area median income. Groundbreaking hoped for next spring with a late 2014 opening, though neighbor opposition and rezoning to apartment use pose hurdles. The effort ties to local affordable housing and retiree attraction trends amid two other housing projects.
