State Rejects 760000 Co op Funding In City

The state rejected a 760000 request for a city co op housing project and a 15000 purchase for 15 mobile homes for temporary relocation. Eight East Side apartments near Twin Towers were planned for families displaced by Waterview redevelopment as the city sought HUD support and state funds. The Waterview site was valued at about 1200597 by state appraisals, with Bridgeport arranging partial payment to ease the burden. The Redevelopment Agency moved to designate a temporary relocation plan including mobile homes and rent supplements while pursuing permanent housing within the North Bishop area and the Waterview project.
