CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — The development company behind an $8.6 million Charles City project has filed for bankruptcy protection. The Chapter 11 bankruptcy was filed last week by attorneys for McQuillen Place Co. LLC, listing more than $3.2 million in unsecured claims for the top 20 creditors. Project developer Charles Thomson has declined to comment about the filing, which effectively stopped foreclosure proceedings. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows the filer to restructure finances under bankruptcy court protection.

The project plans called for retail stores on the first floor, with 33 apartments on the second and third levels of the 50,000-square-foot complex.

(Radio Iowa) — The Board of Regents will hold a meeting today (Wednesday), to set the preliminary tuition rates for the three state schools. The Regents held off setting tuition at their meeting earlier this month so they would know how much money the Iowa Legislature was going to approve for the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa. The board requested 18 million dollars — but the budget approved by lawmakers provides 12 million dollars.

Information from the board office proposes base undergraduate tuition increases of three-point-nine percent at the U-I and I-S-U, and no increase at U-N-I. There are some individual programs where the schools are proposing a slightly higher increase — for instance — the U-I is proposing an additional 200 dollar increase for students in the Business College and nursing.
