Valley Dr Proposal Withdrawn by Shapiro Firm
M. Shapiro & Son Construction Co of New York City withdrew its offer to build a 3000000 dollar limited dividend exempt living center on Valley drive known as the Hilson tract. The plan included garden type apartments with actual cost near 2600000, and total route near 3000000. The company notified the Common Council by mail as the council prepared for a public hearing on the project and zoning change from A to EB. The council had voted seven to one against the measure. Mayor Costello lamented that a chance for needed homes was eliminated.
