LINDEN AVENUE AREA (cont=d) <br />In the near future a new Linden School is to be built at a total cost of <br />$1, 2,50, 000.00. It has a contemplated completion date of 1960. The <br />site of this school is included in the Linden Avenue area.. The School <br />City can only obtain a 2 1 [2 acre site. However, we could easily make <br />mo a acreage available if our program materializes'.. As a result the <br />Sch of City would benefit, in the fact that they would not be as limited <br />for pace <br />The boundaries of this area and its ultimate design at present cannot <br />be as clearly defined as those of the Sample Street area. This would <br />involve a much more extensive surveying job, etc., as the area is <br />more homogeneous than the smaller, compact, Sample Street area. <br />Mr. Adair thought that this project has an advantage over the Sample <br />Street area in the respect that the public would.recognize a complete <br />transformation taking place. It would be a larger project, and in <br />turn, would be more outstanding'. Also, even if at first, we did only a <br />min r share of the work in this area we would still get credit towards <br />the chool, and then as time goes by, we could expand on that area. <br />Mr. Williams then asked how much time would be involved in plan- <br />ning for the industrial area, and if there was a possibility we could go into <br />the 3chool area after the Sample Street project. However, Mr. Sucher's <br />statement was that he feared it would be too late to benefit the school, <br />bec use the planning on the industrial area would take approximately <br />a year, and obtaining local and federal approvals another 4 - 6 months. <br />It w s stated that there would be no opposition in the Linden area from <br />the esidents of the neighborhood if they were approached properly <br />and 'nformed of the benefits that would be obtained. <br />As concluding thought it was stated that we would benefit financially <br />by aving the whole area declared a Renewal Area before the school <br />con truction got started. <br />No- efinite decision was made as to the choice of the project area. <br />Instead, Mr. Sucher was asked to have available before the next <br />monthly meeting additional figures and additional maps, showing: <br />(a) Conditions as they are now <br />(b) Conditions as they would be after Redevelopment <br />
