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.

ASBURY, Iowa (AP) — An eastern Iowa library has reopened around three months after being flooded by water from a burst pipe.

The building repairs cost about $70,000.

Sheriff’s Officials in Montgomery County said a Red Oak woman was arrested Monday afternoon on a bench warrant for Probation Violation. 23-year-old Allison Nicole Aufdenberg was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $1,000 cash bond.

(Radio Iowa) — The 2019 Iowa legislature has voted to create a new specialty license plate and ironically, perhaps, the design is often called a reverse. The design is a black background, with white letters and numbers. The legislation refers to it as the “blackout” plate. It will be nearly identical to the specialty plate design available now for alums and fans of Dordt College in Sioux Center.

The new plates just won’t refer to the Dordt College Defenders. Daniel Yeh is manager for vehicle services at the Iowa Department of Transportation. “We’ve already started the design work and the initial samples for the ‘black out’ plate,” Yeh says.

There is an additional charge for all specialty plates, including this “blackout” version. “We are planning to take orders for the plate starting on July 1st,” Yeh says. “We are hopeful that the production and delivery would happen shortly thereafter.”

Posts on social media indicate a few Iowans have been buying the Dordt College plates, then buying a frame to cover up the reference to the Christian college in northwest Iowa. According to the D-O-T, about 800 Dordt College license plates had been issued by last March.

Officials from Dordt College have not responded to Radio Iowa’s request for comment about the new plates with a look that mimics the Dordt Defenders’ design.
