MONROE - The Monroe Common Council voted against a plan to build a 40-unit apartment building north of the downtown Square during a special meeting Tuesday to discuss the proposal for a third time. The motion from alderman Ron Marsh to "set the project aside and not spend any more money" was approved in an 8-1 vote in which council member Richard Thoman voted no. A theme in discussion among council members was the expense to the city.
