📰 News we're reading

• Movement in St. Francis aims to stop ‘high-rise' apartments (spectrumnews1.com) — A major citizen group in St. Francis is organizing to oppose a proposed pair of five- to six-story apartment buildings on the city-owned Triangle property between Packard, Howard, and Lake Drive. Residents argue the plan conflicts with earlier visions for small-scale retail and green space, while housing advocates say the project could help ease Wisconsin’s housing shortage. City leaders say they must wait for a formal proposal before detailed discussion.
