🚨 Important Update 🚨

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission has deferred the vote to annex prime farmland in Grant Township. This was previously on the agenda for next week's June 24th meeting, but will now be moved to a later, yet-to-be-determined date.

Keep your eyes on our page for updates – we will post as we learn more.

Please pass the word about this important upcoming information session for our community. The development of data centers in Douglas County represents a potential threat to our goal of protecting our important Kaw Valley farmland from industrial development. Please come, listen, and learn!

Interested in keeping data centers out of the Lawrence community? Join us for a meeting on at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 23 at the Lawrence Public Library to discuss how we can take action together!

At the meeting, we‘ll talk about:
•What’s the problem with data centers?
•Why are data center developers interested in Lawrence?
•What opposition is happening right now, and how can you get involved?

We hope to see you there! ⚙️🌻
