To engage in other activity such as assistance to g roups seeking to establi s h housing corporations, as appropria te, related to economic development of the Mode l Neighborhood Area. �OUR CONCEPT . . . ·. Model Neighborhood, Inc. is a legally chartered, nonprofit, self corporation formed by long-time residents of Atlanta neighborhoods included ir. the -;ity' s Model Cities Program Area. · It was formed to enable those who reside, work or own property in this area to under 1,ake self-help progr-:l..ffis of economic development housing and social services! I . It is the belief of the Board of Trustees, all of whom reside in the area, that the felt needs of the people are the most impor,tant needs and self-help, to be successful, must adoress itself to the expressed feelings of the pecple. Too often programs designed to alleviate ilJ.s of the slum-ghettos, · whole aimed toward worthwhile and needed obj~ctives, have lacked support and even met with resistance because felt needs were not effectively dealt with. Self-help must be e;eared to the "self's" perception of itself, whether collective or individual. Thus, the basic goal of the Model Neighborhood, Inr. _program is to provide a means whereby individ!1als and groui:-)s wi thir. t)1E:. · C:(>mmunity can receive assistance in achieving ~their desj1 2d objectives. It is the intent, and has be en the prac tice Lo d ~Le~ of · the corporation to assist those r equesting h0lp to realize their objectives e ven though Board members and advisors believe _such objectives to be l ess tha~ optimum sbluti ons, for it is only through acceptance of the individual's right to pur sue tiis own ends, candid . recognition of his felt needs and a nonpaternalisitic- r e nd e ring of assistance that s e l f -help c a n be meaningful. Rapport and trust are thus engendered , rather than frustration. A meaningful learning experience results, rather than hostility and suspicion Membership in Model Ne i ghborhood, Inc. is open to anyone living ,. working or owning prop e rty in the Mode l Cities Area .

Too often programs designed to alleviate ilJs of the slum-ghettos,:- whole aimed toward worthwhile and needed objectives, have lacked support and even met with resistance because felt needs were not effectively dealt with. Self-help must be geared to the "self's' perception of itself, whether collective or individual. Thus, the basic goal of the Model Neighborhood, Inc. program is to provide a means whereby individuals and groups withir the com- munity can receive assistance in achieving-their desired objec- tives. It is.the intent, and has been the practice vo date, or "the corporation to assist those requesting help to realize their objectives even though Board members and advisors believe such objectives to be less than optimum solutions, for it is | only through acceptance of the individual's right to pursue his own ends, candid recognition of his felt needs and a non- paternalisitic rendering of assistance that self-help can be meaningful. Rapport and trust are thus engendered, rather than frustration. A meaningful learning experience results, rather than hostility and suspicion Membership in Model Neighborhood, Inc. is open to anyone living,. working or owning property in the Model Cities Area. The corporate structure is so designed as to ad tOM unlimited membership. . The corporation is dedicated toa program of demonstration - achievement. - It. is believed, and has been borne out to date, -. that community support can best be gained through proven ac- . Complishment. : Finally, it is. recognized that the economic, social and - physical problems of the area are interwoven and that our pro- gram must deal with the social and physical ills standing in the “way of realizing economic aPLeveneny - - + thus our committment to ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. ‘ Hy pita aot step ye ae eens Je Son EP is A Sus oo a Rea anes SE Er ee een ere aemererz NTE Py dS IIE REM OS { 4 Loa li ne = - Secured egreement from Georgia State College to. staff a general business orientation course. » Obtained business management and skills training agreement from the following companies: .

Mode l Neighborhood, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia in February of 1968 for the purpose of serving as a catalyst to and an instrument of and for the economic development of a particular a re a of Atlanta. The Corporate Board o f Trustees feels the need f or grassroots participat ion in the Model Ne ighbo rhood Program and, therefo re, desires to be a v ehi cle through which the peop le o f t h e a rea c a n part icipate f ully in the physica l, social and economic devel opment o f the Mo de l Neighborhoo d area.

The corporation has raised from its membership and placed on deposit sufficient funds to prepay the interest on the loan. �3 Arrangements for permanent f i nan cing (land and construction) are under discussion with participating companies in the insurance i ndustry's one-billion dollar loan program. The corporation is being a ssisted by the Trust Company of Georgia in these negotiations. A p reliminary market study prepa red for the corporation by Hammer, Green, Siler and Associates, showed t hat the area could support 56,000 square feet of convenience goods retail space. Six hundred fift y new units of public housing are now being occupied adjacent t o the site. Major oil companies are being contacted by the corp oration for possible l e asing of combined gasoline service and training f aciliti es in t he shopp ing ce nter . Tentative verbal comm itments have been obtained from several potent ial institutional tenants pend i ng the working out of space requirements and cos ts, and a number o f area residents have expressed desires to have the co rpo rati o n assist them to obtain financ i ng f or proprietorsh i p businesses wh ich would lease space in the ce n ter. The corporation itself is considering establish i ng a cooperat i vely owned retail drug store which would be a tenant of the center. The Atlanta Housing Authority and the Chairman o f the Aldermanic Planning and Development Committee have endorsed t h e project and are giving full support to the corporation's e f forts. �4 Representativ es of the co rporation are now negotiating with one of the state's leading industrial firms to establish a comp one nt assembly plant within the Model Citie s Area under the sponsorship of the corporation. A proposal to the industrial firm to provide financing for a feasibilit y study is now being prepared by the Industrial Development Division o f Georgia Tech at the firm' s suggestion. The co rp oration will request several thousand dollars in the form of a loan or grant to undertake the f e a sibility study. Members of the Board of Trustees h ave met with t he Fede ral Housing Agenc y to expres s the corp oration's i nterest in t he 22l(H), housing rehabilitati on pro g ram. The Board was advised t hat approximately $1,000 in re fundable "seed mon e y " would be required. Tentative agreement for a loan for this purpose has been obtained from the Presbyterian Ch urch of the United States. A separate non - profit corporation has been chartered with Emmaus House of the Ep iscopa l Ch urch to unde rtake the 22l(H) phase of the p r ogra m. Board members are now reviewing the City's plans f o r redev e lopment in the Mech anicsville and Summerhi ll ne i ghb o rh oo d s with the p urp ose in mind to coordin ate the corporat i o n efforts with tho s e of the Ci ty of At l anta. �5 In other housing efforts, volunteer technical assistants have been instructed to deve lop innovative alternatives for possible housing demonstration projects within the framework of the Federal 22l(d) (3) program. Two area c hu rche s have expressed desires to sponsor such projects. Through its experience with its own program development, its activities in the fields outlined above, its facilities (shopping center) and capital resources obtained through doing business and receiving loans and grants, the corporation hope s to be the non-profit vehi cle through whi ch assistance to a rea residents desiring to establish profit making small businesses may be channeled . For example, a proportion of the shopping center space suf fi ci ent to guara n tee meeting mortgage ret irement needs (approximately 60 percent o f t he space) wil l be leased o nly to we ll-established tenants; the · emainder wil l be made ava i lable as first pr iority to local residents attempting new business ven ture s. Dire ct technical assistanc e to such new enterprises has been provided by various private and g overnmenta l groups i nthe Atlanta area. The corporation desires to contribute to redevelopment efforts of the Model Ne i ghborhood Ar ea not only through coordinating its own development programs with proposed city activities, but also to act as liaison between area residents and governmental agen cies, · to reiterate both �6 criteria and suggestions of proposals through a continuing pub lic information and idea exchange program. The corpora- tion intends to directly involve area residents in the planning process. It is central to the Board's policy that the corporation retain its "self-help" nature. The people of the Model Ne ighborho od Area have the abilities needed to share in the improvement of their own community, and demonstrate self-reliance. The corporation can serve to spark initiative and provide a framework within which the people can help themselves on ly i f decision-making remains in the hands of the people. Wh ile the corporation will co nt inue to seek assistance from outside the community and will continue to give assistance within the commun ity , any assistance offered will not be acceptable unless it perpetuates this self- help objective. Model Ne ighborhood , Inc. seeks to join with the City of Atlanta through the City's Model Ne ighborhood Program in the physi cal , social, and economic development of the Model Neighborhood. �7 The c orpo r ation has defined its purpose, listed act ivities as formulated to date and stated progress made toward t h ose a ctivities in t h e preceding pages. Major emphasis h as been and cont i n ues to be p laced on the shopping cente r. volunteer technical assistance h as been used to explore and i mplement the corp oration ' s ideas and d e sires, yet, such volunteer ass i stanc e , while great l y a ppre ciate d r emains the l a rge st r oadblock to implementation.

Staffing requi rements are very mini ma l a t th i s p oi nt ; no mo re than two f ull-t ime empLoyee s are necessary . Technical assistance requirements include architectual, legal , financia l and managerial. It is estimated t hat as much as $50,000 may be required eventually in order to make the one-million dollar center operational. �8 II. Proposal 1.0 Work Statement . Model Ne igh borhood , Inc., with the financial assistance of the Model Ne ighborhood Program, will seek to accomplish the following activities: 1.1 To construct and manage a shopping center . facilit y as described in Section I . 1.2 To provide vocational training thro u gh the facilities of the shopping center. 1.3 To stimulate the deve lopment of Negro entrepreneurship through the selection of tenants for the shopping ce nte r. 1 .4 To sponsor. the creation and ownership of a neighborhood i ndustry within the Model Neighbo rhood Area .

Volunteer technical assistance has been used to explore and implement the corporation's ideas and desires, yet, such volunteer assistance, while greatly appreciated remains the largest roadblock to implementation. By its very nature, such assistance is always at the leisure of the volunteers and the program moves slowly as a consequence. Rapid progress will be made only when the corporation has funds enough to buy manpower. The current critical need is capital to make the project "operational". Sources to provide one hundred per cent of land and construction eeu have been located. What is ‘peeaea is money to buy manpower -- both staff and technical consultants. Staffing requirements are very minimal at this point; no more than two full-time employees are necessary. Technical assistance requirements include architectual, legal, financial and managerial. It is estimated that as much as $50,000 may be required eventually in order to make the one-million dollar center operational. LL. 1.0 Proposal Work Statement. Model Neighborhood, Inc., with the financial assistance of the Model Neighborhood Program, will seek to accomo- lish the following activities: 1.1 To construct and manage. a shopping center. facility as described in Section I. 1.2 To provide vocational training through the facilities of the shopping center. 1.3 To stimulate the development of Negro entrepreneur-— ship through the selection of tenants for the shop- ping center. 1.4 To sponsor the creation and ownership of a neigh- borhood industry within the Model Neighborhood Area. All of the above activities are in agreement with the physical, social, and economic development goals of the Model Neighborhood Program. For Model Neighborhood, Inc. to be successful or to make an attempt to successfully accomplish its activities staffing and technical assistance are imperative. 2.0 Staffing. The following staffing requirements are based on the assumption that the corporation's activities listed in section 1.0 will be implemented. ‘Staff Corporate Director Administrative Director Secretary-Bookkeeper Corporate Director.

Specifically, he asked me the following two questions: ' . 1. What will be needed in the way" of amendment to the EDA contract specifically to allow disbursement of $6,000 to Model Neighbor hood , Inc.? 2. The City has received $ 25,000 of the EDA grant . It was received at the initial phase o f the contract . How is the add itional money requisitioned? To get the answer9 to these questions, I called Scott Ruthe r ford's office in Washington, D. c. and talked to Mr . Dan Herrington. In answer to question one , Mr . Herrington said that because the remaining $12,000 was not put in the original budget as a line item and was, therefore, uncommitted , the procedure to enable us to giv e Mr . Moody this money would be to have Model Neighborhood , Inc. submit a detailed statement on how they would expend these funds, if they had them. This would be submitted to our staf f who would in turn submit this docwnent along with either a recommendation or otherwise to Mr. Gordon Berry of EDA in Huntsville. Mr. Herrington suggested that we also send an •mofficial copy to Scott Rutherford. He further suggested that we make certain that we would not need this money for line expenditures between now and March 31, 1969. He was unable to answer question two, but said that he would like to look into it and give us an answer in the next couple of days.

Statement of Program Puroose Model Neighborhood, Inc., is a legally charte red, non-profit, self-help corporation formed by longtime residents of s e ctions of Atlanta included in the city's Model Neighborhood Area. It was formed to enable -those who reside, work or ,,.own property in this area to sponsor self-help programs of economic development, housing a n d job traini n g in their own community. The corporation desires to be a v e hicle through w hich the people of the area c a n participa te fully in promis es of the socia l, p h ysical and econ om ic r e development of the Model Neighborhood Prog r am . The Board of Trustees keenly feels the need for such grass -root s parti cipa tion and fe e ls that it must happen soon. Too oft en t h e p eop l e h ave been p romis e d pr o g rams that would dir e ctly touch thei r lives , y e t hav e not seen or fe l t any effe ct. Too o ften, it has seem ed tha t programs de s i gned to h elp the poor have helped everyone but the poo r . P r o g r am is n ow. The time to involve the poor in the Model Neighborhood T he corporat i on, mad e up of wo r kers, residents a nd property o wner s in the area , has a s i ts p u rpose to b e a -m eans by which i n volve ment can o ccur and c an b egin immedia t ely. Specific G oal s and Pr o gram S tatu s To develop and operate a neighborhood sho pping center. Negotia tions are und erw a y for p urchasing two parcels of l an d from the Atlanta H o using Authority. The tracts are a c r o ss the street from each o ther; together , they comprise about f ou r acres ; both are z o ned for commer cia l use. Total purchase price is $216,000 . 0 0. A firm commitment has been· obtained fr om a local bank (Trust Company of Georgia) to loan the co rpo r ation the down payment necessar y to tie up the land while developm ent plans are being firmed up. The corporation has rai s ed from its membership and placed on deposit sufficient funds to prepay the interest on the loan. Arrangements -- for permanent financing (land and construction) are .under discussion with participating companies in the insurance industry's one- billion dollar loan program. The cor-poration is being assisted by the Trust Company of Georgia in these negotiations. A preliminary. mar ket study .prepared for the corporation by Hammer, Green, Siler and Associates, showed . that the ar ea could support · 56, 000 square feet of convenience g.o ods retail space. ' Six hundred fifty new �r-:-~----,."- ·· . units of public housing are now be~ng occupied adjacent to the site. Major oil companies are being contacted by the corporation for possible leasing of combined gasoline service and training facilities in the shopping center. Tentative verbal commitments have been obtained from several potential institutional tenants pending the working out of space requirements and costs, and a number of area residents have expressed desires to have the COl" poration asaist them to obtain financing for proprietorship businesses which would lease _space in the center. The corporation itself is considering establishing a cc;;·~ peratively owned retail drug store which would be a tenant of the center. The Atlanta Housing Authority and the Chairman of the Aldermanic Planning and Development Committee have endorsed the project and are giving full support to the corporation's efforts. The current critical need is capital to make the project "operational." Sources to provide one hundred percent of land and construction costs have been located. What is needed is money to buy manp ow er --both staff and technical consultants. Staffing requirements are very minimal at this point; no more than two full-time employees are necessary and they would be area residents. Technical assistance requirements include architectual, legal, financial and managerial. It is estimated that as much as $50, 000 may be required eventually in order to make the one-million dollar· center operational; however, a $10-20, 000 grant or loan at thi s time is crucial t o allow the Board of Trustees to firm up plans and realistically appraise overall cost-benefit ratios. To create neighborhood owned and operated industry. Representatives of the corporation are now negotiating with one of the state's leading industrial firms to establish a component assembly plant within th~ Model Cities Area under the sponsorship o f the corporation. A proposal to the industrial firm to provide financing for a feasibility study is now being prepared by the Industrial Development Division of Georgia Tech at the firm I s suggestion. The corporation will request several thousand dollars in the form of a loan or grant to undertake the feasibility study. To sponsor low- and moderate-income housing. Members of the Board of Trustees have met with the Federal Housing Agency to express the corporation I s interest in the 22l(H), housing rehabilitation program. The Board was advised that approximately $1, 000 in refundable l) �"se e d mone.y 11 would be r equired. -Tentative agreement for a loan for . t this purpose h a s been obtained from the Presbyterian Ch4rch of the United States. A separate non-profit corporation has been chartered with Emmaus House of the Episcop~l Chruch to undertake the 22l{H) phase of the program. Board members are now reviewing the City's plans for redevelopment in the Mecha nicsville and Summerhill neighborhoods with the purpose in mind t~ QQr,n,•dinat~ th~ c 0 :1:pora.ti.on efforts w i t h the e~ o f tho City of Atl a nt a. . \; In other housinl efforts, volunteer technical assistants have been instructed to develop innovative alternat ives for possible housing demonstration projects within the framework of the Fede ral 22l(d){3) prog ram.

One new c ~ r a tio n entirely separate and distinct fr om Model Neighbor h ood, Inc . , is · alr e ady b e ing formed by profi t motiva ted r e sidents in anticipation o f thi s corporation's succe s s with the shopping center program. To facilitate the physi c al redevel opment of the Model Cities Area, The corporation desires to contribute to redevelopment efforts of the Model Cities Area not only through coordinating its own development programs with proposed ·city activities, but also to act a s liaison between area resident s a nd . governmental agencies, to reite rate both criteria and sugges tions of proposals . through a continuing public information and idea ex change program. The corporation intends to directly involve area re sidents in the pl a nning process I ., �r-1 in an advocative manner through te_chnical assistance obtained by one or . . more of three methods: 1. By having technical assistance made directly available to area residents as a part of the Model Cities Program. At best, this would mean having a planning staff p h ysically located in the area with an office available to citizens desiring information and wishing \\ to express criticisms or suggestions of plans; i I,' 2. By obtaining funds to hire consultants or staff to prepare proposals r e flecting area reside nts desires and fe lt needs. Such proposals would then be submitted to the Model Cities agency for consideration; and/or 3. By obtaining vol unteer technica l assistan ce to develop more satisfactory alte rnatives to M o del Cities Pr o g1·am proposals where nec e ssary. Such volunte e r technical assistance has been offered, but is believed by th e B oard to be less satisfactory than the other two possibilitie s, since it is the Board's desire to facilitate the Model C iti es Program rather than challenge or countermand it. The corporation proposes to further fa cilitate the pr ogram thr ough expenditure of i ts resources on community i mproveme n t projects of a public nature. Such proj ects might include building parks and recr eation areas, landscaping and beautification projects not within the city's budget o r domain, and providing equipment and supplies not o therwis e available to area schools. Continued Programming The corporation has defined its p u rp ose, listed goals as formulated to date and stated progress made toward those goals in the preceding pages. Major emphasis has been and continues to be placed on the shopping center . At the same time, alternatives and new ideas are constantly be ing explored. Volunteer technical assistance has been used solely to explore and implement the corporation's ideas and desires, yet, such volunteer assiste1.nce, while greatly appreciated remains the largest roadblock to implementation. By its very nature, such assistance is always .at the leisure of the volunteers and ,.· �- - --· I .1 the program moves slowly as a con_sequence. Rapid progress will be made only when the corporation has funds enough to buy manpower. Yet, it is central to the Board's policy that the corporation retain its "self-help" nature. The people of the Model Neighborhood Area have the abilities needed to shar e in the improvement of their own community, and d e monstrate self-reliance. The corpo r a tion can serve to spark initiative and pr~wide a framework within which the people can help themselves only if de'~ision-making remains in the hands of the people. .\\ While the corporation will continue to seek assistance from outside the community t·1i and w ill continue t o give assistance within the community, any assistance o ffe red will not be acceptable unless it perpe~uates this self-h'elp objective.

Major oil companies are being contacted by the corporation for possible leasing of combined gasoline service and training facilities in the shopping center. Tentative verbal commitments have been obtained from several potential institutional tenants pending the working out of space requirements and costs, and a number of area residents have expressed desires to have the corporation assist them to obtain financing for proprietorship businesses which would lease space in the center. The corporation itself is considering ), establishing a cooperatively owned retail drug store which would be a Mi tenant of the center. The Atlanta Housing Authority and the Chairman of the Aldermanic Planning and Development Committee have endorsed the project and are giving full support to the corporation's efforts. The current critical need is capital to make the project "operational. '' Sources to provide one hundred percent of land and construction costs have been located. What is needed is money to buy manpower--both staff and technical consultants. Staffing requirements are very minimal at this point; no more than two full-time employees are necessary and they would be area residents. Technical assistance requirements include architectual, legal, financial and managerial. It is estimated that as much as $50, 000 may be required eventually in order to make the one-million dollar center operational; however, a $10-20, 000 grant or loan at this time is crucial to allow the Board of Trustees to firm up plans and realistically appraise overall cost-benefit ratios. To create neighborhood owned and operated industry. Representatives of the corporation are now negotiating with one of the state's leading industrial firms to establish a component assembly plant within the Model Cities Area under the sponsorship of the corporation. A proposal to the industrial firm to provide financing for a feasibility study is now being prepared by the Industrial Development Division of Georgia Tech at the firm's suggestion. The carporation will request several thousand dollars in ' the form of a loan or grant to undertake the feasibility study. ~ To sponsor low- and moderate-income housing. Members of the Board of Trustees have met with the Federal Housing Agency to express the corporation's interest in the 221(H), housing rehabilitation .. program. The Board was advised that approximately $1, 000 in refundable "seed monay' would be required. -Tentative agreement for a loan for this purpose has been obtained from the Presbyterian Chyrch of the United States. A separate non-profit corporation has been chartered with Emmaus House of the Episcopal Chruch to undertake the 221(H) phase of the program. Board members are now reviewing the City's plans for redevelopment in the Mechanicsville and Summerhill neighborhoods with the purpose in mind to coordinate the corporation efforts with those of the City of Atlanta. In other housing efforts, volunteer technical assistants have been instructed to develop innovative alternatives for possible housing demonstration projects within the framework of the Federal 221(d)(3) program. Two area churches have expressed desires to sponsor such projects. - To provide vocational training. The corporation's primary concern is to develop entrepreneurship rather than simply job training. Through its experience with its own program development, its activities in the fields outlined above, its facilities (shopping center) and capital resources obtained through doing business and receiving loans and grants, the corporation hopes to be the non-profit vehicle through which assistance to area residents desiring to establish profit making small businesses may be channeled. For example, a proportion of the shopping center space sufficient to guarantee meeting mortgage retirement needs (approximately 60 percent of the space) will be leased only to well-established tenants; the remainder will be made available as first priority to local residents attempting new business ventures. Direct technical assistance to such new enterprises has been provided by various private and governmental groups in the Atlanta area. One new carporation entirely separate and distinct from Model Neighborhood, Inc., is already being formed by profit motivated residents in anticipation of this corporation's success with the shopping center program. ~ To facilitate the physical redevelopment of the Model Cities Area. The corporation desires to contribute to redevelopment efforts of the Model Cities Area not only through coordinating its own development programs with proposed city activities, but also to act as liaison between area residents and governmental agencies, to reiterate both criteria and suggestions of proposals through a continuing public information and idea exchange program. The corporation intends to directly involve area residents in the planning process in an advocative manner through technical assistance obtained by one or | more of three methods: 1. By having technical assistance made directly available to area residents as a part of the Model Cities Program. At best, this would mean having a planning staff physically located in the area with an office available to citizens desiring information and wishing to express criticisms or suggestions of plans; \\ 2. By obtaining funds to hire consultants or staff to prepare proposals reflecting area residents desires and felt needs. Such proposals would then be submitted to the Model Cities agency for consideration; and/or 3. By obtaining volunteer technical assistance to develop more satisfactory alternatives to Model Cities Program proposals where necessary. Such volunteer technical assistance has been offered, but is believed by the Board to be less satisfactory than the other two possibilities, since it is the Board's desire to facilitate the Model Cities Program rather than challenge or countermand it. The corporation proposes to further facilitate the program through expenditure of its resources on community improvement projects of a public nature. Such ; projects might include building parks and recreation areas, landscaping and beautification projects not within the city's budget or domain, and providing equipment and supplies not otherwise available to area schools. Continued Programming The corporation has defined its purpose, listed goals as formulated to date and stated progress made toward those goals in the preceding pages. Major emphasis has been and continues to be placed on the shopping center. At the same time, alternatives and new ideas are constantly being explored. Volunteer technical assistance has been used solely to explore and implement the corporation's ideas and desires, yet, such volunteer assistance, while greatly appreciated remains the largest roadblock to implementation. By | its very nature, such assistance is always at the leisure of the volunteers and the program moves slowly as a consequence, Rapid progress will be made only when the corporation has funds enough to buy manpower. Yet, it is central to the Board's policy that the corporation retain its "self-help" nature. The people of the Model Neighborhood Area have the abilities needed to share in the improvement of their own community, and demonstrate self-reliance. The corporation can serve to spark initiative and provide a framework within which the people can help them- selves only if decision-making remains in the hands of the people. While the corporation will continue to seek assistance from outside the community and will continue to give assistance within the community, any assistance offered will not be acceptable unless it perpetuates this self-help objective.

THE RESEARCH GROUP, INC. ~34.2 NATIONAL DANI, 01" OitOROIA DLDO . ATLANTA, ' GEORGIA 30303 August 13, 1968 Mr. Johnny C. Johnson Executive Director Model Neighborhood Program 565 Hill Street, S.E . Atlanta, Georgia 30312 Dear Johnny: This note follows our phone conversation of Monday, August 12th in which I suggested that the Model Neighborhood Program a pp ropriate $6,000 to Model Neighborhood, Inc. and withhold $6,000 for Model Neighborhood, Inc. and o ther con tingencies. I recommend that the $6,000 appropriation be made at the earliest possible date so that Model Neighborhood, Inc. may continue to tie up the land while finding tenants for the shopping center. Our conversations with Scott Rutherford of EDA have led us to the following points: 1. If the city provides Model Neighborhood, Inc. (MN I) with an appropriation, such action will indicate to EDA that . the City approves of what MNI is attempting to do and how they are doing it; 2. The appropriation would then allow EDA to deal direct ly with MNI for additional and future funding; 3. Such additional or f uture funding from EDA would allow MNI to .1 hire a full-time pl a nner to get on wi t h the work of finding .tenants and allocating space and �Mr. Johnny C. Johnson August 13, 1968 Page 2 costs; .2 provide a sense of organization to MN I; .3 and allow for future program and/or project planning. Braun Cleveland of Eric Hill Associates and I plan to put toge t her a formal app lication to EDA in the near future.

Johnson Executive Director Model Neighborhood Program 565 Hill Street, S.E. Atlanta, Georgia 30312 Dear Johnny: This note follows our phone conversation of Monday, August 12th in which I suggested that the Model Neighborhood Pro- gram appropriate $6,000 to Model Neighborhood, Inc. and withhold $6,000 for Model Neighborhood, Inc. and other con- tingencies. I recommend that the $6,000 appropriation be made at the earliest possible date so that Model Neighborhood, Inc. may continue to tie up the land while finding tenants for the shopping center. Our conversations with Scott Rutherford of EDA have led us to the following points: dw If the city provides Model Neighborhood, Inc. (MNI) with an appropriation, such action will indicate to EDA that the City approves of what MNI is attempting to do and how they are doing LE: The appropriation would then allow EDA to deal directly with MNI for additional and future funding; Such additional or future funding from EDA would allow MNI to el hire a full-time planner to get on with the work of finding te- nants and allocating space and Mr. Johnny C.
