Housing Plan Approved

The Toll Brothers controversial plan to erect high rise residential towers in the Powerhouse District was approved, reports the Journal. The plan calls for three towers of 40, 35, and 30 feet in height, a 550 seat theater and a public square. Local residents have criticized the plan from deviating from the original re-zoning of the neighborhood when the city first decided to convert the former warehouse district to an artists' enclave. The sole holdout was downtown Councilman Steven Fulop.
