ST. CHARLES – A project that would turn the site of a former plastics factory into a residential neighborhood has run into a roadblock at City Hall.

This week, the St. Charles City Council’s Planning and Development Committee recommended the council reject an agreement with a developer that would have allowed the developer access to about $6 million in tax increment financing funds to underpin the project.

The 7-2 vote reflected the discomfort aldermen expressed over various aspects of the so-called Lexington Club housing development.
