Dispute Over Hyde Park Site Choice For Urban Renewal
The 52nd and Kenwood block group claims the Hyde Park SR 13 site at 52nd and Kimbark should go to the United Cooperative Project rather than Kimbark Associates. The Conference recommends URA sale, but residents say the coop proposal lacks amenities and interior exterior design. Twenty six bids were received for the 13 sites. the group vote was 13 in favor of United Cooperative, six of whom are coop members. The Conference notes the coop plan is low cost and cooperative but not aligned with neighborhood design. See page 2.

Army Headquarters Move to Fort Sheridan Blocked
The House Appropriations Committee refused to fund transferring the 5th Army headquarters from 1616 Hyde Park Blvd to Fort Sheridan. Critics led by Rep Barratt O'Hara argued the move was uneconomical and housing for personnel would cost far more than claimed. Sen Paul Douglas noted housing costs in northern suburbs, and Chicago officials questioned the plan's feasibility and potential use of the old Beach Hotel as a school site.
