Dear Bill:
We are very interested in trying to get some tangible
improvements made in Vine City. A non-profit group which
appears to have promise, is interested in acquiring a number
of the worst properties in the heart of the Vine City area and
either rehabilitating them to meet both City an@ F.HA.
standards or demolishing them and erecting new structures in
place of the old.
This group is currently negotiating with Joe Shaffer in
an effort to obtain control of his current holdings in the
Vine City area only.
In order to form a realistic basis for negotiation between
the non-profit group and current owners of the property, I would
appreciate it if you will have some of your people in the Housing
Code enforcement prepare a list of all of the properties in the
Vine City area (bounded by West Hunter Street, Sunset Avenue,
Simpson Street and Northside Drive) which are known to be owned
by Joe Shaffer and or any of his affiliated companies; and indicate
the appraised value of each, as shown on Courthouse Tax Records,
As werare trying to move rapidly on this project, I would
like to get the above indicated information as soon as feasible.
Sincerely,
Dan E. Sweat, Jr.
