Those were substantial projects in TC for sure. It's crazy how nimby'ism can take over tho. It seems in these smaller cites, when too much booming is going on at once the shut it down mentality takes hold. The whole anti height thing drives me crazy, nothing looks worse than a squat, single story building. Anyway, Marquette recently updated their downtown zoning to allow building heights to go from 60 ft to 74 with consideration for higher if built on top parking and or higher density living spaces. The planning commission rightfully noted that downtown has buildings over 70 feet already and are generally thought as people's most liked buildings!
