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!
Don't forget that the Lawson Park Board is hosting Golden Cardinals this afternoon (Tuesday) at 1pm in the Community Room of City Hall. Come hear how you can plan your final wishes for peace of mind for yourself and your loved ones.
Golden Cardinals is geared towards older adults, but anyone is welcome to attend!

From Missouri American Water: "Tomorrow (7/18) from 2pm-6pm, we will be conducting a shutdown on W. 8th Terrace. This shutdown is being performed so that our contractor can lower the existing water main on W. 8th St to accommodate the storm sewer project. This same shutdown will occur again on Monday (7/21) from 2pm-6pm.
Below is a map of the area that will be affected by the shutdown. Please be advised that individuals near the edges of the area may be affected as well depending on where their service line is tapped. We may have to expand the area should we have an issue with valves. Our contractor said the work should be completed within 2-3 hours."
