LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Lawrence City Commission will soon receive a home improvement retailer’s request for public incentives to construct a production plant and warehouse in the city.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports that the commission will receive the official request Tuesday in which Menard Inc. will ask to advance the proposal to city staff and the Public Incentives Review Committee.

Last week the Lawrence chamber of commerce announced the proposed project, which would create more than 100 jobs.

An application submitted by Menard Inc. says the company is seeking a 50 percent, 10-year tax abatement. It’s also requesting a grant of nearly $550,000 from the city that would be paid over 10 years. Lastly, it requests that the city give the company ownership of an on-site warehouse at no cost.

A public hearing for the request is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 5.
