Welcome to Lawson MO!
Lawson, Missouri is located just north of the Kansas City metro and with around 2500 residents, we are a desirable size town.
We don’t hide the fact that we’re small. Indeed, we embrace and celebrate it. We enjoy a community where family values, quality education and community pride create the ideal place to live, work and play.
And yet, we strive to develop strategies that allow us to achieve purposeful and deliberate growth. Around here, we dare to dream big, and then we roll up our sleeves and get to work making it happen. Just take a look around town at all of the improvements over the past decade – a new splash pad, upgrades to our City Pool, improvements to our City Lake complex with the addition of the Lakeview Event Center and Lakeview Campground and RV Park, the new Barker Center on the high school campus and Southwest Elementary storm shelter, and many more projects that are coming down the pike.
While we have no intention of being the next big city, we won’t ever settle for less when it comes to improving the quality of life for our residents. We are proud to be a small town with big dreams!
🎃🍂🎃 Happy Halloween, Lawson! 🎃🍂🎃 We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween. Please be extra cautious as you drive around town this evening, and watch out for goblins and ghosts that may be wandering the streets! 🥹
HEADS UP! At approximately 8:30am on Thursday, October 30th, the contractors will open Cardinal for traffic, and they will be closing Nolker. Please plan accordingly. We know it's an inconvenience right now, but progress will be worth it! #TogetherWeCan
I know how Lawson comes through for fur babies, so I’m hoping someone can help.
We have a recently dumped baby in doggy jail that we can’t keep. Public works says he is a good boy so he would make a wonderful addition for someone.
Please someone, be his last hope. Christmas is coming 🎅🙏😞
