After making a couple of changes, city leaders have approved a plan that will shape development in the downtown district for years to come. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission voted 3-1, with Commissioner Lisa Larsen absent and Commissioner Stuart Boley opposed, to adopt the Downtown Lawrence Plan with the changes agreed to during the meeting. Commissioners voted to change the wording of the plan to make a stronger commitment to increasing housing downtown, and they also added a reference to an existing plan that would serve as a guide for arts and culture efforts.
