Asheville to remake urban area into parklike gateway
Asheville plans a $3 million redevelopment of the 17 acre Urban Redevelopment Area along the expressway. The project will replace blighted buildings with modern facilities, parks, and landscaped streets to welcome visitors and serve residents. Financing includes $1 million city share, $750,000 in bonds approved May 14, and $2 million federal support via HHFA. The plan reshapes streets and builds a show area near City Hall and Courthouse, with land to be bought by the Redevelopment Commission and resold for varied uses.

Highway Safety Big Assembly Item
Raleigh AP notes the 1963 General Assembly moved on highway safety with mixed results. Key measures include mandatory seat belts on new cars after next January and a chemical test provision for suspected drunken drivers, while compulsory car inspections were defeated. The plan to place the Highway Patrol under independent control failed, but a study commission was urged. Age 16 to 18 licensing provisions and air patrol use limits also arose amid interagency tensions.

Districting predicted to spark electoral reform debate
North Carolina Democratic Chairman Bert Bennett predicted a fair and equitable Senate redistricting bill from a special General Assembly session. He warned failure to act would hurt the party and become a political issue. The 1963 session adjourned without redistricting, with a resolution urging Gov. Sanford to call a special session. Bennett said lawmakers would finish their work after a short rest and that substantial platform goals from 1962 have been met.
