City aldermen push for a $120000 planning grant under the Community Development Action Plan with a city share of $40000 for a $160000 project. The CDAP agency led by Dwight T. Alvord would designate housing for low or moderate income occupants and offer tax abatements, with abatements decided by the council. The plan aims to reinvest savings to rent relief, improved premises, new tenant classes, or services, and seeks state funds to reimburse the city for abatements. The council also approves a Gimbels land deal and a $10 million Lafayette Plaza store set for fall 1969 opening, with CBD preserving development responsibility if default occurs.
