City funds split for $14 million health facility and recreation plans
Voters approved a 1 cent countywide sales tax in 1994 to finance both a $14.2 million health facility across Maine Street from Lawrence Memorial Hospital and a city recreation center project in Centennial Park. The health facility is a joint Lawrence and Douglas County effort, while the recreation center plans were scaled back amid public opposition and are now under study by a task force with public meetings set for September 7 and 22.
