Downtown Lawrence Master Plan workshops announced!
Let’s talk about Downtown Lawrence! Help us shape the future of our Downtown.

The City of Lawrence is excited to announce the initiation of a planning process to develop a Downtown Master Plan! The Downtown Master Plan will serve as the City’s official guide for land use and development in the Downtown area over the next 15-20 years. It will act as a “road map,” detailing a long-term vision and policy agenda for important issues such as land use, development, beautification, parking, pedestrian mobility, and circulation. Ultimately, the plan will seek to answer, “What will our Downtown look like in the future?” and, “How do we get there?”

The city is working with consulting firm Houseal Lavigne Associates on developing the Downtown Master Plan.

As part of the planning process, the City will host three workshops. The Downtown and Adjacent Neighborhoods Workshop is for people who live in close proximity to Downtown Lawrence, the Community-Wide Workshop is for anyone who lives/works anywhere in the City, and the Downtown Business Workshop is designed to gather feedback from business owners, developers, and members of the Downtown business community. Please note that all three workshops are open to any Lawrence community member who wants to attend to ensure everyone has an opportunity to provide input.
