Austin May Vote On Slum Clearance Plan And Bond Issue
Austin voters may be asked this fall to authorize a bond issue to fund the city’s third of a federally aided slum clearance and redevelopment project. City officials seek approval to proceed with plans under Title I of the 1949 National Housing Act, while ensuring feasible temporary housing for displaced families and adherence to legal steps before land acquisition. Local real estate leaders urge careful, locally controlled redevelopment with private enterprise participation.
