Neighbors celebrate delay on Lawrence school field plans
Opponents of Lawrence High and Free State High athletic field projects left City Hall after city commissioners approved the schemes. The school board postponed a vote for four weeks to Oct 13 to allow engineers and the district to reassess amid a city requirement to move the LHS football stadium farther from private property. Superintendent Weseman and Tom Bracciano note the delay buys time but the projects proceed, with baseball facilities expected by spring.
