Old home town – 25 years ago today

The city commission was to be asked by the city aviation advisory board to consider a revenue-sharing funding request for a new terminal at the Lawrence Municipal Airport. The cost of the project was estimated at $400,000 and was due to more than double available space, according to advisory board member Bob Walters. Walters, director of research at the Kansas University Space Technology Center, had been selected as the board spokesman regarding the work. Work already was under way on a new runway.
