Chester mayoral candidate questions UDAG rejection
Democratic mayoral candidate Bill Riley attacks the city UDAG denial tied to alleged lack of minority input citing a HUD signal from a council letter. Mayor Battle says the ruling won’t rule out mall plans and next review is planned for 1979. Riley questions the mall concept and Chester’s housing and welfare context. The piece ends with a historical note about William Penn and King Charles II.
