Bottom line

The Lawrence City Commission will meet an hour earlier than usual Tuesday behind closed doors to discuss a possible property purchase.

Background

Officials will not discuss which property is under consideration. The agenda indicates, however, that commissioners may take action to buy the property after the executive session. And the future of the defunct Farmland fertilizer plant east of Lawrence is on the agenda.
