Rayburn Hills: Tex housing town built for mill workers
U S Plywood acquired a northeast of Houston sawmill and Camden town, then funded an $800,000 Rayburn Hills project to turn workers into homeowners. The 156-unit, brick ramblers plan includes rental units, with 6 percent loan rates and 25 percent wage subsidies for low income families. Camden will be demolished as residents move in, and the program garners praise from President Nixon and Secretary Hardin for private enterprise aided by federal help.
