by HUD in Atlanta's Neighborhood Development Program and HUD's policy
that no new areas could be placed under NDP, Plunkettown had to be
eliminated from the City's 1970 NDP Program,
Mr. Matthews submitted and explained a proposed Budget totaling
$67, 250.45 with a 2/3 Federal Grant to be requested of $45,057.80. He

bers of the Plunkettown Planning Committee. <A copy of this schedule is
attached,
Mr. Gladin suggested that the Budget be amended to include relocation
assistance for those families who would be relocated from the Plunkettown
Community during the Interim Assistance Project.
Mr. Sweat suggested that every effort should be made to relocate each
family or individual who wished and could qualify into the new Gilbert
Road Public Housing Project ona priority basis.
Discussion took place as to whom would administer the IAP on financing
and on other matters.
The Grant Review Board strongly recommends the Interim Assistance
Program be submitted to HUD with the following conditions.
l. That 1963 Urban Renewal Bond funds be used to finance the City's
local share.
2. That the Program be administered by the Atlanta Housing Authority
with the understanding that the City Planning Department Staff will aid
the Atlanta Housing Authority in the planning and evaluation of the project.
3. That the Budget be amended to contain money for relocation expenses.
4. That a definite attempt be made to relocate all eligible and willing
residents into the Gilbert Road Public Housing Project as a top priority.
Project Intercept
The City of Atlanta with the support and backing of the Business Community
and the Atlanta Transit System have been working with the Department of
Transportation Center City Consultant's team in the development of a
shuttle bus system known as Project Intercept. Due to the presence of
the Christmas Holidays the decision was made to hegin Project Intercept
the day after Thanksgiving. The advantage to be gained by introducing the
public during the shopping season to the park - shuttle service was thought
to be significant. The business community has donated $30, 000 to under-
write the initial cost of this program. An additional $30,000 is needed in
the form of a demonstration grant to assist in the marketing effort. The
Planning Department had prepared a Demonstration Grant application and
requested the Grant Review Board's approval.
e Board moved to support the filing of this application and a joint resolution
