The Charleston Planning Commission reluctantly backs the Kanawha Two Mile area for a 500 unit, 4 million dollar low cost housing project. A July 18 1950 correspondence from commission chairman Walter Crichton and director Clyde Jarrett shows mixed views amid prior Donnally Street slum area recommendations. The plan, under the National Housing Act of 1949, ties Charleston to a national slum clearance program with matched federal housing requirements and local site discretion. Mayor Capen challenges the Kanawha site choice as reported, with further details on Page 14.
