City and police department officials will update the Lawrence school board Monday on the status of the new police headquarters, to be built just west of Free State High School.
Capt. Anthony Brixius, of the Lawrence Police Department; Melinda Harger, the city’s assistant director of utilities; Amanda Sahin, city transportation engineer; and Mark Hecker, assistant director of Lawrence Parks and Recreation, will provide the update to the school board on various aspects of the planned $17 million police headquarters.
The project is of interest to the school district because the headquarters is set to be built immediately west of the FSHS athletic fields, on a 29-acre site wedged between Wakarusa and Overland drives. The city-owned property at 5100 Overland Drive is north of the Sixth Street Walmart store.
