Firm looking at city may bring 250 jobs
Kansan staff report
A firm that would bring 250 jobs to Lawrence is considering the city as a possible site, the director of the chamber of commerce economic development committee said last night.
At a meeting of the seven-member Lawrence-Douglas County economic developmental task force, Bill Martin said he had placed ads in various business magazines in an attempt to lure new businesses to Lawrence. Representatives from one company were looking at the quality of life in Lawrence as part of their decision process.
"They were highly secretive about the name of their company," Martin said. "But I know that they would employ 250 skilled jobs in machine-
He said the firm was also consider ing Lenova as a possible site.
Martin said that throughout the
summer, one company a week showed an interest in Lawrence.
Bob Moody, task force member,
said the purpose of the task force was to oversee the economic development of the county and city and examine planning and tax abatement programs.
Frances Horowitz, task force member, said the members on the task force cared about Lawrence.
"We're all novices in this, but we care about how the area grows." Moody said. "We were appointed by both the city and county and have met a month or so ago. Both commissions want us to give them insight.
"We are honest people who are interested in quality development," she said. "We want to preserve Lawrence."
The task force decided at yesterday's meeting to attend a workshop on tax abatement programs which helped direct to the task force's goals
The Daily Mail newspaper of neighboring Freeport, Sierra Leone, quoted one of Doe's generals as saying two hungry pet lions of the ousted leader were prowling around the residential residence in Monrovia, eating people weakened by hunger. Many people sought refuge in the height of the tightening among rebel factions and Doe's soldiers.

Maj. Chris Otutana, a spokesperson for a five-nation West African army sent to enforce a truce in Liberia's 9-month-old civil war, appealed for more international aid from dying of hunger and disease.
The Belgian doctors were forced to close their operations last month when rebel leader Charles Taylor advanced into the capital and the hospital was hit by rockets and shells.
Oulana urged Taylor to open talks with the West African task force "so we can jaw jaw rather than war war."
Taylor has demanded the withdrawal of the West Africans whom he accuses of wanting to install a puppet government in laberia
He has declared himself president and is trying to install his own government. He said he will have elections Oct. 10 to choose a representative from each of Liberia's six states, which he has described as a temporary administration that would organize general elections.
The West African plan also proposes elections.
