Bluefield Towers project eyed amid funding hurdles
City officials defend the 18.8 million Bluefield Towers plan as a private enterprise initiative with a 2.6 million federal grant and 16 million from Altemose. Despite skepticism from merchants and residents, Mayor Don Keesling cites contingency plans and strong private backing as the project aims to start land purchases soon, with a 1980 to 1981 completion target.
