Planning Department

City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Collier:

This is to advise that the Educational Complex at Hoke Smith is
a top priority in our total Model Cities effort. Therefore,
the Neighborhood Facility Building which is a part of that Com-
Plex should take precedence over the one planned for the Dunbar
School Area.

I would like to suggest that a meeting be scheduled with your
staff and the Atlanta Public School's staff to begin to develop
the mechanism for detailed planning of the Hoke Smith Neighbor-
hood Facility. I hope you can arrange this meeting in the very
near future.

The Model Cities staff is committed toworking with you and the
Atlanta Public School System in the planning of this important
facility.

I will await word from you.

Sincerely,

Johnny C. Johnson
Director
