Re: Rawson-Washington Street
Urban Redevelopment Area
Project Georgia Rel0
Dear Mayor Allen:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has this date advised by
telegram the approval of a $1,600,89).00 grant increase for the 353 acre
RawsoneWashington Street Urban Renewal Project in Atlanta. This amendment
will permit the Atlanta Housing Authority to proceed with the acquisition
of three additional blocks of land east of Whitehall Terrace for a new
elementary school, park, and community facility building.
The Housing Authority submitted the Part I Application for Loan and Grant
on this project on February 10, 1967, and received HUD approval on February
26, 1968 (12 months). Ten days later on March 7, 1968, the Authority sub=
mitted the Part II (following a public hearing and approval of the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen and Housing Authority Board of Commissioners) and received
approval on May 10, 1968 (2 months), The above dates demonstrate the extra=
ordinary time required for Federal review and approval of urban renewal
applications, and accounts for the substantial delays in the urban renewal
procesSa
The Housing Authority will proceed expeditiously with the acquisition of
the land required for the school, park, and community facility.
Very truly yours,
Howard Openshaw
