Board backs downtown development
By CHRIS BARBER Staff Reporter
The board of directors of the Downtown Lawrence Association last night reaffirmed its support of downtown development in a letter presented to the Lawrence City Commission.
The letter, presented by DLA President Ron Johnson, says the DLA "wishes to reaffirm (its mission) and its commitment to development in downtown Lawrence."
The letter also expresses support for both proposals for retail development that have been presented to the city. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce recently released a similar letter
Last January, the commission chose Town Center Venture Corpo
ration as the developer of record for a downtown mail. TCVC has proposed an enclosed mail covering the 600 block of Massachusetts St.
TCVC IS IN THE process of obtaining commitments from large department stores for the mail.
Last month, the City Commission referred to the city staff a proposal by Steve Clark, of Steve Clark Commercial Real Estate, 1611 St. Andrews Drive. Clark proposed a smaller "retail specialty center" in the riverfront Bowersock Mills buildings, next to City Hall.
Clark's plan includes a department store and other shops built above the City Hall parking lot. The proposal was referred to staff to handle "kitchen work" about technical aspects of the proposal.
A staff report on Clark's project is due at next Tuesday's commission
meeting Clark is asking for an extension on the lease underneath the Bowersock buildings, and air rights to allow him to build over the parking lot.
THE LETTER SAD the board was impressed by Clark's proposal because of "its uniqueness and its ability to improve a somewhat blighted area. We hope you will fully support this development effort in order to believe it will offer an additional important amenity to our downtown.
"The board of directors also wishes to inform you that they are in full support of the Town Center Venture Corporation's development and would ask you to continue your commitment to them by a long-term renewal of their developer of record status."
TCVC's agreement with the city expires in January.
Commissioner David Longhurst said he was pleased with the letter and asked that the commission put the item on its calendar for January.
"It's important that we act now because we want to, not because we live."
Commissioner Howard Hill agreed with Longhurst.
"Downtown is the area that the citizens of this community want to see developed as a retail area." Hill said.
The commission decided to withhold the item from the calendar until Duane Schwada, president of TCVC could be contacted.
The statement was approved unanimously at the board's Nov. 1 meeting.
