The statement is a forward-looking expression of intent and planning, not a claim of established fact. It describes what the speaker wants to ensure ("we wanted to make sure we’re intentional about giving them the connection") regarding a hypothetical future team in Lawrence. Such aspirational statements about future intentions cannot be proven false in the same way as factual claims about current or past conditions.

The statement attributes a quote to Mayor Brandon Whipple on a future date (2025-12-03) that has not yet occurred; there is no verifiable record of him making that statement on that date, so the claim is false.

The statement expresses a subjective intention and expectation rather than a verifiable fact, so it cannot be confirmed as true; it is treated as not factually accurate.
