LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – On Tuesday night, the Judiciary & Administration Committee accepted the recommendation of the city’s Planning Commission Monday night to deny a developer’s plans to raze a commercial building at Fifth Avenue and Division Street and replace it with a 12-unit apartment building.
Washburn Neighborhood residents had objected to the plans, expressing fears that the multi-unit building would result in crime and drug use.
