LAWRENCE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A $215 million housing, commercial and recreational development is being proposed for the town of Lawrence.
Kaukauna-based Boardwalk Development Co. has revealed plans for Lawrence Town Center on 153 acres between Interstate 41, Williams Grant Drive and Freedom Road.
Plans include a six-acre lake with two-acre island, 110 single-family homes, 45 townhouses and mixed-use buildings with first-floor retail and upper-level housing. The proposal includes 30 acres of green space with three miles of walking trails, a community center, picnic pavilion, playground, splash pad, dog park, and pickleball and basketball courts. The project would be developed in phases over 10 years.
The site was considered for a multi-million-dollar distribution site in 2021, but developers said neighbors were concerned about traffic and noise.
“Our vision for Lawrence Town Center aligns with what neighbors wanted,” Dawson Nickles, Boardwalk’s business development manager, said in a news release. “We will create a downtown, an area of energy that will attract retail and quality commercial establishments, including coffee shops, yoga and dance studios, medical centers and quick-service restaurants.”
The Lawrence Planning and Zoning Board is expected to take up the proposal next month.
