Plans have been filed that would allow Lawrence-based Sigler Pharmacy to build a new health care building on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Folks Road. The site is shown in November 2020 as crews were moving dirt on the property, which is part of the Bauer Farms residential and commercial development area in northwest Lawrence.
Properties, of course, can’t catch COVID, but one prominent piece of vacant ground along Sixth Street got sick from the pandemic nonetheless.
I’m talking about the vacant commercial lot at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Folks Road. As other pieces of property in growing northwest Lawrence developed, it continued to sit empty. That may change as plans have been filed for a new pharmacy and health care building on the corner.
