STOCKBRIGE — Designs for Stockbridge’s new Cultural Arts Center were rejected by the City Council Tuesday due in large part to the price tag.
The center’s budget was capped at $18 million. But designs presented ranged in price from $32 million being the highest, followed by $25.3 million and $24 million. The lowest projected cost was at $19.2 million.
