Downtown Sprinkler Program
The Downtown Lawrence Fire Protection Sprinkler System Incentive Program (Downtown Sprinkler Program) is a proactive safety program aimed at getting fire protection sprinkler systems into downtown buildings. The Sprinkler Program will encourage downtown building and business owners to install new sprinkler systems and/or upgrade existing systems through a combination of direct reimbursements and cost sharing mechanisms.
The Sprinkler Program has four (4) basic components:
- Tap Incentive
- System Installation Reimbursement Incentive
- Building Prioritization
- Program Implementation
The Downtown Sprinkler Program includes all commercial buildings within the area bounded by 6th Street, Rhode Island Street, South Park, and Kentucky Street.
