Lawrence Housing Proposal Under Review

Lawrence city commissioners are set to vote on a major housing proposal: a 131-unit apartment complex backed by industrial revenue bonds that would exempt construction materials from sales tax—no property tax breaks or city repayment required. While the project doesn’t meet affordable housing standards, it’s part of a larger conversation about housing shortages across the city. Commissioners also face a $4 million downtown redevelopment bond already approved and will review the next five-year capital improvement plan. The meeting kicks off Tuesday at 5 PM via Zoom (not livestreamed on YouTube), with public comment options and written feedback due by noon. Recordings will drop the next day.
