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!
Missouri American Water is planning a water shutdown scheduled for September 10 near Nolker and Cardinal Circle. This shut down is to facilitate the tie-in of the new main to existing mains. Below is a section of the map with the affected area. The shutdown is expected to start at 9am and end approximately at 1pm. Please reach out directly to MAW is you have any questions as we are just passing along the information we have been given.
We are getting word that there is a water main break that is requiring Missouri American Water to shut off the water. The affected areas include everything north and east of North Raum and 10 Street. It will affect the Lakeview Campground and RV Park as well. Water customers should receive a Code Red alert from Missouri American Water. Any questions should be directed to them. We are just passing along what we know at this point.
Another project completed!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
And yes, we are STILL working on the Raum Bridge project. STILL waiting on a response from the railroad.
Lawson City Hall will be closed Monday, September 7 in observation of Labor Day. We will resume normal business hours on Tuesday, September 8 at 8:30am. We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend!
REMINDER: Trash service will run one day late due to the holiday. Please plan accordingly.
Happy Work Anniversary to our HR gal Charla Stephan who has been with the City since 2019. We appreciate all you do to keep things running smoothly!
