About 40 delegates from Frederick planning, housing authorities and aldermen heard Samuel Hawthorne outline the need for a consolidated group to guide urban renewal planning zoning and housing. The city’s prior approved program lapsed in December as officials organize a new advisory body to ensure eligibility for federal aid. The group would advise city officials and coordinate interests across urban renewal and public relations. Hawthorne cautioned the work has little pay but yields the benefit of informed community involvement.
