Mr. Matthew D. Bystry, Manager
Whiting-Turner Construction Company
2970 Peachtree Road, N.W.

Atlanta, Georgia 30305

Dear Mr. Bystry:

Let me congratulate you and your company on being the
first to break ground on a Turnkey Low-income Housing project
in Atlanta. The ground breaking ceremony on May 9, on your
Hollywood Road project has been a distinct stimulus to our
Low-income Housing program and hope to see others started soon,

I notice, however, that your organization has not yet
broken ground on your 220 unit Gilbert Road project.

I wish to encourage and urge you to move as rapidly as
possible in getting construction actually started on this very
important development and its ultimate completion as soon
as possible,

If problems arise which tend to delay this development
and which you are unable to resolve, please call on our
Housing Resources Committee to assist you.

I wish you the best of success in carrying this development
to early completion and I hope to the mutual benefit of both
your organization and the City of Atlanta.

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
