The No 1 story covers the partisan swing returning Democrats to power, while Urban Renewal, the Magic Block bid, and council battles frame the year alongside notable crimes, prosperity indicators, and public projects.
The 1964 saga of the High Point Urban Renewal project centers on a lawsuit by A G Whitener and W W Horton challenging tax money for the plan and urging a public vote. The Redevelopment Commission fought a Supreme Court case over five questions, with a July to August restraining order and a November hearing, while the Magic Block bid by High Point College dominates downtown redevelopment. The commission argues the block’s sale will boost downtown business, with the city council expected to decide soon after federal approval, as relocation and rehabilitation proceed, including 78 families and 26 individuals relocated and 169 dated structures affected.
