The Press-Citizen reports the council voted 4-3 Monday against a request from architect Kevin Monson to invest $72,000 and support state tax credits to build the high-rise. Council members who voted against the measure said they had concerns about the apartments’ costs and a requested exemption to a requirement for on-site parking.
