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 brand new Splash Park, 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 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 birthday to Lawson Police Department officer Ryland Sims! We hope you have a wonderful day!
Happy work anniversary to Randy Prentice who has been with Public Works for 2 years!
A message from our City Administrator Matt Nolker concerning the Raum Bridge Project. This message was shared at last night's council meeting. As a reminder, everyone is invited to attend the council meetings on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30pm.
Happy Birthday to Lawson Police Department Chief Bruce Summa! We hope you have another wonderful trip around the sun!
Please Help find me a home 🥺!!! We have been hosting 2 of the sweetest fur babies around but, sadly we can’t keep them forever. Mr. Buddy is an older doggie. He is a loving, low key baby. He would make someone a great shop dog, fishing buddy or just quiet company. He has wise old eyes that just look back to your soul. He would make a great confidant as well. Marshmallow Fluff is a sweet, give me all the kisses, playful girl. She just wants love and attention. She has been taken out for walks, belly rubs and hugs by Addison, a daughter of an employee so we know she is great with kids.
I just know Lawson residents have big hearts for pets. Please help us find homes for these deserving babies. We have kept them longer than we should have already. We just can’t keep them much longer. Our kennels are for short term stays. ❤️🩹
