COUNCIL PASSES HISTORIC STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
In what city leaders called a historic step toward cleaning up city lakes and the Mississippi River, the City Council on Friday approved a new stormwater management billing and credit system that they say will bring local property owners into the process of cleaning up the environment.
CONTROVERSIAL UPTOWN HIGH RISE GAINS APPROVAL
Developers received approval from a divided City Council on Friday for a six-story, 82-foot-high condominium on East Calhoun Parkway.
CITYWIDE WIRELESS PLAN TAKES FIRST STEP
The City Council on Friday authorized city staff to take the first steps toward developing a system that could bring broadband wireless Internet access to the entire city.
WALKER LIBRARY MAY GET ITS NEW ROOF AFTER ALL
Fans of Uptown's leaky Walker Community Library got some good news last month. The push to raze the library and rebuild it as part of a mixed-use development could prove too costly to implement.
