In Erie, the Erie County Redevelopment Authority approved moves in the Fourth Ward Urban Renewal Project. A parcel at 25 cents per square foot covers 19,800 square feet to be developed by Cooper-Pentax, likely as parking, with federal Housing and Urban Development funding pending. A zoning variance hearing was requested by A&B Distributors to relocate to the former Vernon Motors building at 432 North Center Street. Concurrently, Congress limited use of a 2.8 billion supplemental appropriation for bombing in Cambodia. House action, with 224-172 vote, blocked some spending while opposing sides sparred over broader implications for Indochina policy.
