Leavenworth County commissioners proclaimed Wednesday as Detective Cpl. Abramovitz Day.
The proclamation honored Daniel Abramovitz, a member of the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office who was killed last year in a crash. His death is considered to have occurred in the line of duty.
Members of the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office were on hand Wednesday when the proclamation was read by County Commission Chairman Mike Smith.
Sheriff Andy Dedeke thanked commissioners for recognizing Abramovitz’s sacrifice.
“He was a good friend and public servant,” Dedeke said.
Abramovitz died Oct. 30 as a result of a crash at 211th Street and McIntyre Road.
City explores road improvements in support of commercial development
The Leavenworth Times
When they met this week, Leavenworth city commissioners reached a consensus to explore making improvements to a section of Lakeview Drive in support of a planned commercial development on Eisenhower Road.
City Manager Paul Kramer told commissioners Tuesday that the commercial development is planned for a 12-acre property at Eisenhower Road and Lakeview Drive. The project may bring a Culver’s restaurant to Leavenworth as well as other commercial development.
“This project is still pending rezoning,” he said.
He said a rezoning ordinance will come before commissioners May 25 for a first reading.
