June 30, 1967

The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor, City of Atlanta

City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mayor Allen:

Big business is moving into the field of helping to supply good
housing for low and moderate income families. The Celotex Corporation,
one of the largest manufacturers of building supplies, has been awarded
the contract for land in the University Center Urban Redevelopment Area
on which they will build 208 apartments and town houses financed under
FHA's 221 (d)(3) program to be sponsored and operated by the Friendship
Baptist Church.

We hope you will attend the contract signing on Thursday, July 6th,
at 2:00 P. M. at the office of the Atlanta Housing Authority. This
should be an important event both in Atlanta and in the nation since
Celotex expects to expand this type of operation in urban renewal areas
nationally. Representatives of press, radio and television have been
invited and a copy of this invitation is enclosed.

Most sincerely, LE

Lester H. Persells
Director of Redevelopment
