Wakeland sues over Urbana decision on Main Street home

URBANA – Developer Howard Wakeland has gone to court seeking to overturn a July 8 decision by the Urbana City Council that denied him the ability to demolish an old rooming house at 809 W. Main St. and replace it with a new house.

A complaint seeking a court review of the council's decision was filed Tuesday in Champaign County Circuit Court by Wakeland's attorney, Glenn Stanko.
