Berry Plastics project eyed near Lawrence a county plan
A proposed 21 million Berry Plastics warehouse near East 700 Road would not be in the Lawrence city limits, avoiding city taxes. Neighbors were informed, and a possible city agreement for fire protection and wholesale water from Rural Water District No. 6 may be sought. The site would join a second major development with Fritzel’s corporate retreat, and both plans face county and city approvals. Schwada’s alternative site remains in consideration for other industrial users.
