Labor Temple apartments OK'd

With blessings from Cloquet Planning Commission, the city council approved an addition to the Northwoods Credit Union building at 902 Stanley Avenue and a conditional use permit for development of the former Labor Temple at 1403 Avenue C. GCL Development LLC, owned by Clyde and Louise Sherman, plans to create office space on most of the ground floor, but needed the permit to put 11 apartments in the building. City planning and zoning administrator Al Cottingham said apartment building requests in the City Center District must have a public hearing and be approved for a conditional use permit.
