The housing authority wants its downtown senior tower on the National Register, mostly to unlock historic rehab tax credits worth up to roughly 40% back. Some commissioners worried about listing a building while a similar tower, Dasker Manor, is being torn down — though staff clarified the listing doesn't block future demolition.
