Council plans financing for neighborhood uplift
City Council approved a 610000 bond sale for the Neighborhood Development Program and discussed a timetable for the Central Area urban renewal project in the downtown. About 555000 of the bond funds would be the city share for the 1971 renewal effort, with 35000 for an amendment and 20000 for financing. Council President DeCaprio urged broader public discussion, timetables from the developer New Castle Central Area Renewal Inc, and commitments to complete work to avoid long vacant downtown land. He cautioned about private decisionmaking and emphasized public accountability. Local officials noted economic uncertainties and the need for a timetable and city input on land use and traffic plans.
