Business park woos business Douglas County offers tax incentives for light industrial use
The first phase of Lawrence's newest industrial park is open for business, complete with tax incentives to lure companies to town.
Bill Martin, director of economic development for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said the infrastructure of the first phase of the East Hills Business Park was virtually complete. The industrial park is at Kansas Highway 10 and Noria Road, east of Farmland Industries Inc.
The first phase comprises 230 of East Hill's 300 acres. Martin said there were preliminary plans for the project.
"The streets opened about two weeks ago and any company that wants to break ground can."
East Hills is owned by Douglas County and land is sold as needed to Douglas County Development Inc., a non-profit landholding corporation overseen by city, county and business leaders.
Martin said county cooperation was needed because it would cost a private company too much to maintain.
Although no company has broken ground yet, Harris Construction, of Kansas City, Mo., has purchased a 5-acre site for a 55,000 square-foot industrial building, said Twila Rist, vice president of Jones and Company, the leasing agent for East Hills.
Martin said East Hills was designed for light industrial and warehouse use and that both the Chamber of Commerce and Jones and Company be working with prospective clients over the winter.
"We've geared up 1989 as the big marketing year," Rist said. "We're marketing heavily outside of the state of Kansas and we're negotiating with several businesses right now."
Rist said East Hills would be attractive to many companies.
"It will be able to attract some larger users that would like to go to Johnsons County but can't afford
the land prices.
"Also, using the buzz words of the industry — transportation and labor — the east and west coasts don't have them. The Midwest then becomes very attractive. The Kansas City area has an excellent highway system and we have a tremendous labor force," she said.
Rist said that Kansas had one of the highest qualities of life, another selling point in attracting new business.
In addition to transportation, labor and quality of life. Rist has tax incentives to offer.
East Hills is in a Kansas Enterprise Zone, which means the city can extend tax credits and refunds to businesses.
Incentives include state income tax credits of $350 for each new employee who resides in Kansas and $350 for each $100,000 in investment. However, the company's state income tax bill.
Also, the business may be entitled to a refund of sales taxes for the construction or remodeling of facilities in the enterprise zone.
Rist said that East Hills, along with the Intech Business Park in Fudora and the Cedar Creek Development in Olathe, would create a corridor of new development along Kansas Highway 10.
"We're looking at 15 to 20 years; it doesn't happen overnight, but it's a definite area of growth," she said.
Speech focuses on basis of prejudice

Skip Turner's message is this: People need to value diversity in the workplace.
Turner, director of the office of affirmative action, yesterday led the first of a three-part series that offered solutions to curb racism, and added other forms of prejudice in the workplace.
The seminar was at 2 p.m. in the Kansas Union. Four people attended.
"The theme is recognizing that our population is ever-changing, which affects our workforce," he said. "We need to recognize that there are differences among people and that these differences are
At the beginning of the seminar, all participants received a sheet listing eight people with a brief description, including age, race and religion.
The participants had to choose five of the eight to live with in a small shelter in the event of a nuclear attack.
The purpose of the exercise, Turner said, was to evaluate how people can that can influence the people people can make.
This is the third time this semester that Turner's office has sponsored the series.
"Diversity is an external ingredient," he said.
But the value is that we need to look inside one.
The participants then watched a film that staged scenarios on how a manager could work with diversity. They also received a questionnaire to test how well they could manage diversity.
Bryant said it was important for people to be sensitive to cultural differences.
program. "This has been a test of some of my own assumptions and a critique of the ways in which I handle diversity in terms of hiring and written communications."
Turner said this was the first year his office had sponsored the series but that it was not his first effort to heighten awareness about stereotypes on the University of Kansas campus.
"Diversity is a part of our lives," said Sally Brant, director of the new student orientation
"Last year, I held sessions called the Tale of O." he said. "These also dealt with relations in the workplace."

Turner said the second seminar in the series would be next week. The film next week will focus on diversity in the office and how co-workers can avoid making assumptions about each other.
