City Council Balks at State Capitol Expansion Plan
City council members sharply criticized state building plans for a proposed second capitol office building. Chairman Robert Spilman introduced an amendment to raise height limits to 100 feet for eight story structures, replacing the old 75 foot six story rule. The Capitol District amendment was discarded as Spilman argued the plan diverges from the Cass Gilbert vision, calling the state’s approach haphazard and not in keeping with the state’s most attractive capitol.
