The City of Lawrence is now offering a Meeting in a Box tool as part of the community engagement process for the Land Development Code. The Meeting in a Box encourages individuals and community groups to share their thoughts on community character. The Land Development Code team is working to create the design standards that future development in Lawrence will follow, which includes elements such as landscaping, local architecture, infrastructure, historic context and more. These elements all help define our community character. The Meeting in a Box is a self-paced workshop that community members can complete by themselves or with the group of their choosing: community organizations, neighborhood groups, school classes, etc. … An online version is available at lawrenceks.org/ldc (under the documents tab). The Meeting in a Box tool will be available until Friday, Sept. 15.
