City leaders have approved sales and property tax breaks for the expansion of an alcoholic beverage distribution company in northern Lawrence.
As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission voted unanimously to approve an economic development assistance request from LRICO Services LLC to expand the existing Standard Beverage building located in the Timberedge Industrial Park. Commissioners said they were supportive of the company’s project.
“I do really appreciate the fact that they are wanting to move forward with a project here in Lawrence, and that they continue to have faith in Lawrence and want to stay here and grow,” Commissioner Lisa Larsen said.
