Tribunal to Get Building Issue in Charleston Case
The State Supreme Court of Appeals will decide a dispute between Charleston and the State Office Building Commission over a 1.7 million dollar office complex at California Avenue and Washington Street. Circuit Judge Julian F. Bouchelle certified the case to the tribunal after a joint motion by city and state counsel. He had granted a temporary injunction halting work, noting the commission’s plans must comply with city zoning and that the Legislature’s actions were within powers. He urged delaying construction until the next Legislature expresses its view, given the site lies outside the Cass Gilbert Plan area.
