Federal nod to relocation plan for Model Cities families
Federal authorities in Atlanta approved the relocation plan for families and businesses displaced by the Model Cities program. The ruling clears more than 500000 dollars for a multipurpose center and park on Southside but June 30 contracting deadlines loom with potential loss of funds. Land exchange talks with High Point schools aim to free space adjacent to Fairview Street School. About 48 families face displacement as the central relocation agency is created and staffed.
