Back to EpisodesKU Endowment's Annexation Plan: Flooding & Development Concerns
Description
The KU Endowment Association aims to annex 140 acres near Lawrences airport for future business growth, despite longstanding flooding issues. A 2005 study recommended a multimillion-dollar pump station to handle stormwater, but recent developments suggest that officials may now view valley development as feasible without such infrastructure. Water and sewer lines to the site and airport could still cost millions, and a pending lawsuit over stormwater from a nearby solar plant may impact the situation. Public hearings will determine if the annexation proceeds, potentially paving the way for significant changes in the area.
