THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Lawrence is kicking off a citywide Economic Development Master Plan coordinated with a future Comprehensive Master Plan and an Urban Renewal Plan. MVPC will lead data collection, analysis, and community engagement through 2026 to define target industries, redevelopment sites, and an action matrix. This is an early-stage strategic planning effort where outside consultants for economic analysis, engagement tools, GIS, and implementation support could still be brought in as the plan and follow-on projects are defined.
Plan integrates freight rail capacity, brownfields, commercial space availability, commuting patterns, and business retention data, which can feed future capital projects, site redevelopment, and incentive programs.
