Adams Hopes To Avoid Urban Renewal Pitfalls
Adams plans to guide urban renewal with caution, avoiding indiscriminate evictions and widening nonresidential uses. McAndrews notes the nine acre first site will be cleared except for three banks and a store, with elderly housing likely funded by state aid. Federal funds, town matching shares, and planning costs frame the initiative, while Jane Jacobs critiques renewal trends and local merchants voice concerns on Main Street. The nine acre project could grow to 70 acres, with a special town meeting expected in late year.
