Re:
Retail Development:

Dear Bron:
.l
As requested, we have undertaken an analysis of the potential
for 1 neighborhood retail development on the property now under
option to Mode l Neighborhood, Inc. The two parcels are B-l0b
and jB-14 within the Rawson-Washington Urban Renewal Project
Are if, · The purp ose of our analysis was to arrive at the indicat ed ·, ·
value of the pr op erty, considering the__probable scale and charactJr of development. _ -~-- ..
- -- -The scale and character of development is determined by:
1.
The objectives of Model Neighborhood, Inc.
2~
The market available to support commercial
development.
3.
The limitations imposed by the size, configuration
and actessibility of the property itself, as well
as the necessity of maintaining a!l adequate r atio
between building_ ~r~~ and parking area, and
4.
The pra ctical considerations of maintaining a ·
r easonable relationship between capitai inves tment r equirements and anticipated retur ns .
I t is our unders t andi ng that Model Neighborho od , I nc . has as its
primary obj ect ive t he provi s i on of ret ai l trade and se r vi ce facil itie s to serve t he ne i ghbor hood resident s . Ot her considerat i ons
are maki ng available emp loym~nt opportun i t ies as we l l as on-thej ob training i n small business operation for area residents .

Mr. C. Bron Cleveland
No1ember 13, 1968

•
Because the intent is to develop neighborhood rather than
highway-type or traffic-oriented retail establishments (both are
possible at the locations under study) , it is our opinion (and
the opinion of a qualified commers:ia l real estate leasing agent)
that the property would not be used to its highest and best use . .
In this case, "highest and best use" is defined as those uses that
would generate the highest rents, more cash flow, and therefore
justify a higher pur chase price. We must accept as a given the
objectives of Model Neighborhood; Inc . ; these take precedent over
cash flow considerations and, thus, we begin our analysis with
the knowl edge that the pr oposed us es wiil not yie ld the greatest
potentia l return .
·
• In November, 1967, we undertook a preliminary analysis of market
support. 1hat an a lysis was given to r epresentatives of Model
Neighborhood, Inc. in s ummary t abl e form . The f actors considered
w~re popul ation, income and shoppers-goods and convenience- goods
expenditures in 1967 and pr oj ected to 1980 on the basi s of A. A.T.S.
dat a compiled by A. R. M.P.C. In our judgment, . market support is not
a considerat ion since, by any r easonable test, th e prop erty cannot
pos sibly be developed (consi dering its l and ar ea) wi th enough floo r
space to meet avai labl e market demand . Suffi ce it to s ay that the
primary market a lone (,south of I - 20, west of Sout h Freeway, north
· of A.&W.P. R.R. and east of C. of G. R.R.) will support at l east
60,000 square f eet of additiona l s hoppers - goods and conveniencegoods floo r area exclusive of s ervice operations. Inf low from the
secondary mar ket would be substanti a l but has not been considered.
Moreover , t hat space (60,000 square f eet ) can be suppor t ed by
att racting on ly 10 percent of local resident s hopper s - goods expendit ures and 40 percent of convenience-goods expenditures . I n swnmary ,
market suppor t is far i n excess of t he practi cal physi ca l deve l opment potential of t he pr operty under study.
In addit i on to the obj ect ives of the spons or ing organi zat i on , we
set ·for th one ot her deve l opment as sumption whi ch had a marked effect
on our approach t o ·the successful ~tili zation of t he property. Th ere
are two properties under option: t he smaller parcel east of McDaniel
Street conta ins jus t under 1 . 5 acres; t he l arger parcel west of
McDanie l Street contains slightly more than 2.5 acres
a total of
4 acres. Under no circumstances should consideration be given to
providing a pedestrial connection between the parcels bf bridging
McDani e l Street . The r easons for this statement will be come
abundantly c l ear l atet in t his report , l etter, but for now it should
�.. .
,.
~

Mr. C. Bron Cleveland

Page 3
be understood that the cost of bridging cannot possibly be
justified by the anticipated cash flow regardless of how
desirable such a connection might seem from the standpoint
of funct i ona l r elati ons hips. · Moreover, we believe that by placing uses on each parcel ·which have fundamentally different activities and traffic generating and servicing characteristics,
the need for a physical connection (exclusively for pedestrians)
can be reduced considerably.
Proposed Us es
In the development of the sugges ted r etail and service compl ement and in.estimating rents we have used the services· of one
of Atlanta's outstanding commercial leasing agents. This gentleman pr efer s to· donate his t a lents anonymo·u sly because we both
under stand · that ot her r eal estate E.~ople are · acting in an advisory capacit y on thi s- proj ect ·. - - ·

The s er vice s t ation should locat e on the Georgia Avenue frontage ;

Indicated Land Value
, • C •
We believe the rent, operating expense and debt service assumptions used in the cash flow pro forma to be realistic. An -·
· investor is expected to view them as reasonable and prudent.
If the cash flow is capitalized at a 10 percent rate, the
property _(both parcels combined) would be worth $134,000.
"' '-'-'
It is recommended that Model Ne:ighborhood, Inc. buy the property
on the basis of projected cash flow, . then sell the land to an
institution and lease ·it-·back (sale/lease back) on the basis of
cash flow. Under this proposal, Model Neighborhood, Inc. would
have to appli the entire anticipated net cash flow to rent on
the land. 11rns,. there would be no profit _flowing to the company.
On the other hand, the company would be accruing equity interest
in the improvements on the property.
·
l-L
' r.· :,:. · :, ·. -t
r - . .-;..
, ', ..
Thus, the ins ti tut ion owns the ·1and, the financier of improvements
owns the structures and Model Neighborhood, Inc. gets the residual
interest in the structures at the termination of the debt service
on these improvements.
We sincerely hope that this analysis will enable Model Neighborhood,
Inc. to move ahead on this worthwhile project. It will be necessary
to acquire the land for approximately $134,000, against the current
established minimum price of $216,500 -- a reduction of ·$ 82,500.
Nevertheless, we believe the established minimum price to be far
in excess of the value indicated on the basis of cash flow. Furthermore, we beli~ve our cash flow projections to be realistic and in
line with what experienced commercial leasing people are finding in
this type of location and given the suggested scale and character
of development recommended.
t,,
If the price of the land can be reduced, we suggest contacting
large fin ancia l institutions interested in a,sale/lease back at
a 10 percent net net rate. Because commercial banks are restricted
in lend1ng on unimproved real estate, their (M.N.I.) best bet is
to try insurance companies.
lj
I
I
.\
If the sale/lease back can be arranged, the gr oup should then
contact a reputable commercial real estate developer t o put to gether a package and handle leasi_ng and management of the development.

Mr. C. Bron Cleveland
Eric Hill Associates
75 Eighth Street, N.E. Re: Retail Development:
Atlanta, Georgia 30309 Model Neighborhood, Inc.
; Q
Dear Bron:
|
As requested, we have undertaken an analysis of the potential
for neighborhood retail development on the property now under
option to Model Neighborhood, Inc. The two parcels are B-10b
and |B-14 within the Rawson-Washington Urban Renewal Project
Area. The purpose of our analysis was to arrive at the indicated ~ :
value of the property, considexing | the probable scale and char-
acter of development... ---
The scale and character of development is determined by:
1. The objectives of Model Neighborhood, Inc.
2. The market available to support commercial
development.
3. The limitations imposed by the size, configuration
and accessibility of the property itself, as well
as the necessity of maintaining an adequate ratio
between building area and parking area, and
4. The practical considerations of maintaining a
reasonable relationship between capital invest-
ment requirements and anticipated returns.
It is our understanding that Model Neighborhood, Inc. has as its
- primary objective the provision of retail trade and service facili-
ties to serve the neighborhood residents. Other considerations
are making available employment opportunities as well as on-the-
job training in small business operation for area residents.
Seienai ic aigt bia waited aaa
Mr. C. Bron Cleveland
November 13, 1968
Page 2
Because the intent is to develop neighborhood rather than
highway-type or traffic-oriented retail establishments (both are
possible at the locations under study). it is our opinion (and
the opinion of a qualified commercial real estate leasing agent)
that the property would not be used to its highest and best use.
In this case, "highest and best use!" is defined as those uses that
would generate the highest rents, more cash flow, and therefore
justify a higher purchase price. We must accept as a given the
objectives of Model Neighborhood, Inc.; these take precedent over
cash flow considerations and, thus, we begin our analysis with
the knowledge that the proposed uses will not yield the greatest
potential return.
In November, 1967, we undertook a preliminary analysis of market
support. That analysis was given to representatives of Model
Neighborhood, Inc. in summary table form. The factors considered
were population, income and shoppers-goods and convenience-goods
expenditures in 1967 and projected to 1980 on the basis of A.A.T.S.
data compiled by A.R.M.P.C. In our judgment, market support is not
a consideration since, by any reasonable test, the property cannot
possibly be developed (considering its land area) with enough floor
Space to meet available market demand. Suffice it to say that the
primary market alone (south of I-20, west of South Freeway, north
of A.§W7.P. R.R. and east of C. of G. R.R.) will support at least
60,000 square feet of additional shoppers-goods and convenience-
goods floor area exclusive of service operations. Inflow from the
secondary market would be substantial but has not been considered.
Moreover, that space (60,000 square feet) can be supported by
attracting only 10 percent of local resident shoppers-goods expendi-
tures and 40 percent of convenience-goods expenditures. In summary,
market support is far in excess of the practical physical develop-
ment potential of the property under study.
In addition to the objectives of the sponsoring organization, we
set forth one other development assumption which had a marked effect
on our approach to the successful utilization of the property. There
are two properties under option: the smaller parcel east of McDaniel
Street contains just under 1.5 acres; the larger parcel west of
McDaniel Street contains slightly more than 2.5 acres -- a total of
4 acres. Under no circumstances should consideration be given to
providing a pedestrial connection between the parcels by bridging
McDaniel Street. The reasons for this statement will become
abundantly clear later in this report letter, but for now it should
Mr. C. Bron Cleveland
November 13, 1968
Page 3
be understood that the cost of bridging cannot possibly be
justified by the anticipated cash flow regardless of how
desirable such a connection might seem from the standpoint
of functional relationships. Moreover, we believe that by plac-
ing uses on each parcel which have fundamentally different ac-
tivities and traffic generating and servicing characteristics,
the need for a physical connection (exclusively for pédestrians)
can be reduced considerably.
Proposed Uses oe
In the development of the suggested retail and service comple-
ment and in .estimating rents we have used the services of one
of Atlanta's outstanding commercial leasing agents. This gentle-
man prefers to donate his talents anonymously because we both
understand that other real estate people are acting in an advi-
sory capacity on this_project. ~~
We propose that Parcel B-14 (1.486 acres) be developed as follows:
| Land or |
Building
Area
(Square Feet)
Service station : ~ 25,000
Theater (400 seats) “5,800
Service shops 4,200
Parking (75 spaces) 29,700
Total 64,700
The service station should locaté on the Georgia Avenue frontage;
the theater and service shops on the remaining land area. These
service shops will generate quick turnover patronage and traffic
-- much of the traffic may flow past drive-in windows if designs
can incorporate this possibility. The theater's patronage will
be primarily in the evening and can utilize parking not needed by
service shops at that time. (Incidentally, we checked the mini-
. theater people. now operating here in Atlanta and they expressed
interest in the proposed development.) The service shops should
‘be just that -- shoe repair, laundry and dry cleaning pick-up,
possibly barber and beauty shops, and similar types of personal
and repair services.
‘Mr. C. Bron Cleveland
November 13, 1968
Page 4
We propose that Parcel B-10b (2.51 acres) be developed as
follows: :
Floor Area
(Square Feet)
Supermarket -16,000 tet. fer 2a5
Drug 4,000 oe
Shoppers-goods units 10,000 *
Total , 30,000
The shoppers-goods units could be hardware/auto accessories,
women's and men's wear or family clothing, shoe stores, piece
goods, possibly a small limited-price variety unit, record
. shop, optical and possibly even a convenience-goods unit such
as a bakery. ,

Mr. C. Bron Cleveland

Indicated Land Value
We believe the rent, operating expense and debt service assump-
tions used in the cash flow pro forma to be realistic. An sowacitt kA UG, See
investor is expected to view them as reasonable and prudent.
If the cash flow is capitalized at a 10 percent rate, the :
property (both parcels combined) would be worth $134,000.
It is recommended that Model Neighborhood, Inc. buy the property
on the basis of projected cash flow, then sell the land to an
institution and lease-it-back (sale/lease back) on the basis of
cash flow. Under this proposal, Model Neighborhood, Inc. would
have to apply. the entire anticipated net cash flow to rent on
the land. Thus, there would be no profit flowing to the company.
On the other hand, the company would be accruing equity interest
in the improvements on the property.
Thus, the institution owns the land, the financier of improvements
owns the structures and Model Neighborhood, Inc. gets the residual
interest in the structures at the termination of the debt service
on these improvements. |
We sincerely hope that this analysis will enable Model Neighborhood,
Inc. to move ahead on this worthwhile project. It will be necessary
to acquire the land for approximately $134,000, against the current
established minimum price of $216,500 -- a reduction of $82,500.
Nevertheless, we believe the established minimum price to be far
in excess of the value indicated on the basis of cash flow. Further-
more, we believe our cash flow projections to be realistic and in
line with what experienced commercial leasing people are finding in
this type of location and given the suggested scale and character
of development recommended.
If the price of the land can be reduced, we suggest contacting
large financial institutions interested in a:sale/lease back at
a 10 percent net net rate. Because commercial banks are restricted
in lending on unimproved real estate, their (M.N.I.) best bet is
to try insurance companies.
If the sale/lease back can be arranged, the group should then ;
contact a reputable commercial real estate developer to put to-
gether a package and handle leasing and management of the develop-
ment. 2

Dear lire Moody:
Thank you for your letter of Juns 26, 1968, in which you advised us
concerning your efforts tovard gatting financings for the shopping
center you plan to erect on the above described property. You also
speak of an option to acquire the proverty and request an extension
of tine because your 5% bid deposit expires on July 13th.
In clarification of the matter it scens appropriate to review briefly
ths existing situation in respect to this property. On May 17, 1958,
Model Neighborhcod, Inc., made a proposal to The Housing Authority to
buy Parcels B-10bd and Bel) in the Rawson-Washington Street Urban Red-
elopzent Area for a price of $216,500.00 and attached to the proposal
@ Treasurer's check issued by the Trust Company of Georgia in the sun
of $10,800.00. ,
On May 22, 1968, the Board of Comnissfonerg of the Housing Authority
accepted the proposal conditioned upon your corporation receiving a
commitment of funds.
On May 29, 1968, the Housing Authority wrote and advised you of thse
action taken by the Board of Commissioners and further advised that
before the Housing Authority can actually and formally accept your
* proposal, it must have knowledge that Model Neighborhood, Ince, has
received such a comnitcent. No date was set by which you are required
to obtain such a commitment. It was our desire to give you a reasona~
ble tins and to work with you in every way possible.

At that time, Mayor Allen raised certain questions as to the qualifications
of the Executive Director of Model Neighborhood, Inc. and expressed
opposition to the approval of $35,000 in Model Cities Supplemental Funds
to match the EDA grant which has already been approved. The motion
to approve was tabled until the August meeting of the Model Cities
Executive Board,
in the meantime, Model Neighborhood, Inc. board members, MNI
consultants, and others are working in an attempt to find a reasonable
solution to this problem, 1 hope that a solution can be found prior to
the August meeting.
Sincerely yours,
Dan Sweat

Subject:
Status of Sale of Shopping Center Site by Atlanta Housing
Authority to Model Neighborhood, Inc.
At your request, I have talked with Philip Vrooman, Disposition Officer of the
Atlanta Housing Authority for a rundown on the status of this transaction.
It seems that this is considered a very unusual transaction as far as the
Housing Authority is concerned. The initial proposition was made without
the benefit of a written proposal and after the proposed sale had been
announced publicly, the Housing Authority personnel assisted the Model
Neighborhood, Inc. in preparing a proposal that would satisfy the requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The written
proposal is dated May 22, 1968. It proposes to buy the two parcels involved
for a total of $216, 500. 00. When the sale was first proposed, Model Neighborhood, Inc. paid over to the Housing Authority $10,800.00. These funds were
borrowed from the Trust Company of Georgia and require some sort of quarterly
payment. We understand that these payments are being met from the proceeds
of the $6,000.00 granted to the organization through EDA in 1968.
The proposal conditioned the sale of the property on Model Neighborhood, Inc. ·
· being able to secure a loan for the balance which in turn ne cessitates securing
commitme nts from a sufficient number of tenants to make t..½.e venture econo1nically feasible . Mr. Vrooman states that there have be en many confere':lces
with Mr. Moody over the past ye ar in an attempt to assist his organization in
meeting this condition but, while Mr. Moody and his associates have appeared
confident and determined, these commitments have not been obtained as yet.
�July 1, 1969
Memo to Dan Sweat, Jr.
Page Two
The written proposal that was drawn up for this proposed sale does not have
a time period written in which places any time limit on when this commitment
must be met. Further, the way Mr. Vrooman interpr e ts the document, the
$10,800.00 is refundable if Model Neighborhood, fu.c. does not consurnate
the sale. As a matter of fact, there seems to be smne confusion at the
Housing Authority as to what the $10,800.00 is because the Authority has
never deposited the check even though it was received a year ago,
Mr. Vrooman states that at the last conference that w a s held with Mr. Moody
a few weeks ago, he stated that it looked like it would be about six (6) months
before the transaction could be consumated.
Very truly yours,
GB:p

Dear Sir:
In a Model Cities Steering Committee meeting on July
31, 1969, a motion was carried to approve the Model
Neighborhood, Inc. economic development program, pending
written communications of information conveyed by a consultant at the meeting on the following two concerns;
(1) expansion of MNI Board and (2) MNI Directorship.
The following action was taken at a special Board
meeting on July 30, 1969 of Model Neighborhood Inc.
(1) MNI Board agreed to expand its Board to include
more members with the stipulation that they be
residents of the Model Cities area.
Although the Board agrees in principle that the
addition of professional businessmen on their
Board would benefit the corporation, it disagreed
with adding, specifically (5) "Black" businessmen
because of the racial overtones of such an action .
The Board also felt that sophisticated "out-side"
business interest ( on the Board) would not
enhance the basic concept of self-help . The Board
however, did agree that the Advisory Board would
meet monthly in order to review the program progress
and financial expenditures. This action was agreed
�Mayor Ivan Allen
August 5, 1969
to by the Advisory Board.
At an earlier Board meeting, there was re-election
of officers. Mr. Joe Stallings was elected chairman and Rev. Joel Marshall vice-chairman. The
Board also ruled that no member of the staff
could hold a position on the Board. All staff
members have resigned from the Board.
(2)
The Board hired Mr. Samuel Cochran as Executive
Director. Mr. Moody,to benefit the corporation,
agreed to work in a line position. He is to
receive a contract with specific duties as outlined in a scope of services.
The Model Cities Steering Committee voted to approve
MNI's program upon receiving the above information in
writing. The committee instructed MNI to forward this
information on to the Executive Board via letter for your
consideration.

Dear Sir:
In a Model Cities Steering Committee meeting on July
31, 1969, a motion was carried to approve the Model
Neighborhood, Inc. economic development program, pending
written communications of information conveyed by a consultant at the meeting on the following two concerns;
(1) expansion of MNI Board and (2) MNI Directorship.
The following action was taken at a special Board
meeting on July 30, 1969 of Model Neighborhood Inc.
(1) MNI Board agreed to expand its Board to include
more members with the stipulation that they be
residents of the Model Cities area.
Although the Board agrees in principle that the
addition of professional businessmen on their
Board would benefit the corporation, it disagreed
with adding, specifically (5) "Black" businessmen
because of the racial overtones of such an action .
The Board also felt that sophisticated "out-side"
business interest ( on the Board) would not
enhance the basic concept of self- help . The Board
however , did agree that the Advisory Board would
meet monthly in o rder to review the program progress
and financial e x penditures . This action was agreed
�Mayor Ivan Allen
August 5, 1969
.
to by the Advisory Board.
At an earlier Board meeting, there was re-election
of officers. Mr. Joe Stallings was elected chairman and Rev. Joel Marshall vice-chairman. The
Board also ruled that no member of the staff
could hold a position on the Board. All staff
members have resigned from the Board.
(2) The Board hired Mr. Samuel Cochran as Executive
Director. Mr. Moody,to benefit the corporation,
agreed to work in a line position. He is to
receive a contract with specific duties as outlined in a scope of services.
The Model Cities Steering Committee voted to approve
MNI's program upon receiving the above information in
,
writing. The committee instructed MNI to forward this
information on to the Executive Board via letter for your
consideration.

In a Model Cities Steering Committee meeting on July
31, 1969, a motion was carried to approve the Model
Neighborhood, Inc. economic development program, pending
written communications of information conveyed by a con-
sultant at the meeting on the following two concerns;
(1) expansion of MNI Board and (2) MNI Directorship.
The following action was taken at a special Board
meeting on July 30, 1969 of Model Neighborhood Inc.
(1) MNI Board agreed to expand its Board to include
more members with the stipulation that they be
residents of the Model Cities area.
Although the Board agrees in principle that the
addition of professional businessmen on their
Board would benefit the corporation, it disagreed
with adding, specifically (5) "Black" businessmen
because of the racial overtones of such an action.
The Board also felt that sophisticated "out-side"
business interest ( on the Board ) would not
enhance the basic concept of self-help. The Board
however, did agree that the Advisory Board would
meet monthly in order to review the program progress
and financial expenditures. This action was agreed
Mayor Ivan Allen August 5, 1969
to by the Advisory Board.
At an earlier Board meeting, there was re-election
of officers. Mr. Joe Stallings was elected chair-
man and Rev. Joel Marshall vice-chairman. The
Board also ruled that no member of the staff
could hold a position on the Board. All staff
members have resigned from the Board.
(2) The Board hired Mr. Samuel Cochran as Executive
Director. Mr. Moody,to benefit the corporation,
agreed to work ina line position. He is to
receive a contract with specific duties as out-
lined in a scope of services.
The Model Cities Steering Committee voted to approve
MNI's program upon receiving the above information in
writing. The committee instructed MNI to forward this
information on to the Executive Board via letter for your
consideration.
Sincerely yours

�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 .
The corporate structure is so de sign e d as to allow unlimited
member ship .
The· corporation is dedic.ated to a program of demonstration
_.-___achievement. - It. is b e lieve d, and has be en borne ·out to date,
... that community s upport can best be gained through proven accomplishme nt.
·,
Finally, it is . recogni ze d that the economic, social and
.· physical problems of the a r ea are int e rwoven and that our program mu s t de al wi th the soc i a l and phy sical ills sta nding in the
·_way of r e ali zin g e con omic improve me nt . . : thu s our committmen t
to ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

OUR CONCEPT...
‘Model Neighborhood, Inc. is a legally chartered, non-
profit, self corporation formed by long-time residents of
Atlanta neighborhoods included ir. the city's Model Cities
Program Area.: It was formed to enable those who reside, work
or own property in this area to under’ake self-help programs
of economic development housing and social services,
It is the belief of the Board of Trustees, ali of whom re-
side in the area, that the felt needs of the people are the mcst
important needs and self-help, to be successful, must address
itself to the expressed feelings of the pecple. 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.

The tracts are
across the street fr om each o ther ; together, they compri se
about fo ur a cres ; both are zoned f or commerc ial u se .
purcha se pri ce is $216,000.00
Tota l
A firm commitment has been
obtained f rom a loca l bank (Trust Company o f Ge o rg i a) to
loan the corporation the down payment necessary t o t ie up
the land while development plans are being f irmed up. 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.

The c orpo r ation has defined its purpose, listed act ivities

Negotiations are underway for purchasing two parcels of
land from the Atlanta Housing Authority.
The tracts are
across the street from each other; together, they comprise
about four acres; both are zoned for commercial use.
Total
purchase price is $216,000.00 A firm commitment has been
obtained from a local bank
(Trust Company of Georgia) to
loan the corporation the down payment necessary to tie up
the land while development plans are being firmed up. The
corporation has raised 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
corporation is being assisted by the Trust Company of Georgia
in these negotiations. A preliminary market study prepared
for the corporation by Hammer, Green, Siler and Associates,
showed that the area could support 56,000 square ack: of
convenience goods retail space. Six hundred fifty new
units of public housing are now being 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 axenaauea 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 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.
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 corporation will request several
thousand dollars in the form of a loan or grant to under-
take the feasibility study.
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
money" would be required. Tentative agreement for a loan
for this purpose has been obtained from the Presbyterian
Church of the United States. A separate non-profit
corporation has been chartered with Emmaus House of the
Episcopal Church 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.
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 inthe Atlanta area.
The corporation desires to contribute to redevelopment
efforts of the Model Neighborhood 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 corpora-
tion intends to directly involve area residents in the plan-
ning process,
-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 themselves 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 of-
fered will not be accapbabie unless it perpetuates this
self-help objective.
Model Neighborhood, Inc. seeks to join with the City of
Atlanta through the City's Model Neighborhood Program in
the physical, social, and economic development of the
Model Neighborhood.
The corporation has defined its purpose, listed activities
as formulated to date and stated progress made toward those
activities in the preceding pages. Major emphasis has been
and continues to be placed on the shopping center. 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.

Pr ocess Requi red for Funding Model Neighbo rhood , Inc.
·
On August 12 Dave Caldwell asked me what procedure should be followed
by Model Cities to financially as sist Mode l Neighborhood, Incorporated
to the tune of $6,000.
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.
