Yesterday HUD approved <br />the Model Cities Plan with a great deal of praise for <br />the planning process they went through in interrelated- <br />ness of problems. The Committees who worked together <br />to for ulate the project on Merry Avenue were: <br />1) Housing Committee <br />2) Fiscal Committee <br />3) Economic Committee <br />4) Manpower Committee <br />Mr. Sc by said all the residents were in favor of the <br />project and voted for it. One business, Scott's Liquor <br />Store, was upset and voted against it. Shorty Pappa's <br />Bar is also located in the area. The proposed develop- <br />ment is for light industrial uses. This will eliminate <br />a lot f substandard and blighted properties - -some have <br />been b rued out. <br />Mr. Wi�gins moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 406, <br />second d by Mr. Wade, and unanimously carried. <br />Mr. Ba be said in talking with HUD in Indianapolis on <br />this, me will submit this project as a formal Renewal <br />Project, Part I and Part II application showing no <br />Federal assistance. The entire project cost will be <br />paid out of Model Cities supplemental funds. This <br />project then will be a credit towards other projects in <br />that area. There will be Federal assistance through <br />Model Cities for the relocation of the people, but no <br />Federal assistance for the project cost. <br />Three neetings have been held with the PAC Committee- - <br />the last held Tuesday night; the relocation benefits <br />were explained. The residents are all aware of the <br />relocation. Resources will be the largest item. <br />�'t <br />
