Dear Mrs. Bunzl:
Thank you for your recent letter supporting a permanent performing
arts facility in Piedmont Park.
The Planning Department has put together a five year Urban Beauti-
fication Program in which we proposed redesign of Piedmont Park during
the first year and redevelopment in stages over the subsequent four years.
A performing arts facility can easily be included in the redesign program,
but it is doubtful if the facility itself would be an eligible item under
the Progran.
The Urban Beautification Program is based on an approximate 50 - 50
sharing of cost between Federal Government and City. At this time the
City cannot finance the proposal. There is a possibility that a much cut
back version can be funded which would not include redevelopment of Piedmont
Park. However, it could be put back in another year. Unfortunately this
another example of the City losing out on Pederal grants because we are
able to finance our share of the cost.
le
Im my opinion the location of a performing arts facility should be
part of an adopted redesign plan for the park and is the reason construction
a facility should wait until the City can finance the redesign. |
I am referring your letterto Mr. Landers, Administrative Assistant
to the Mayor, and Mr. Delius, General Manager of Pazke.
Sincerely,
G. Eric Harkness
