Lawrence, Indiana

Lawrence, In O ver the past decade, the City of Lawrence, Indiana has seen exponential growth. Not only has its population grown almost eight percent, almost everything in Lawrence has grown along with it. The city has seen positive changes in everything from housing to infrastructure, recreation, business and more. “Several years ago Lawrence wasn’t anywhere close to what we see now under Mayor (Steve) Collier’s leadership,” says Sri Venugopalan, Lawrence’s City Engineer. “I’ve seen tremendous growth here. A lot of industries have relocated to Lawrence or are wanting to relocate to Lawrence and we work closely with them. We are doing a lot of road projects and a lot of infrastructure projects to help supplement some of this growth. If you look at Lawrence six years ago, versus now, you will see a night and day difference.” The city of just under 50,000 was founded in 1849 as Lanesville, but was officially crowned as Lawrence in 1866 in honor of War of 1812
