City Housing Plan Grows From 1975 HUD Grant
In May 1975 Winchester applied for a 104 184 grant from HUD later approved for 118 184. The funds financed a city wide Housing Assistance Plan land for Weaver Park and park improvements at Winchester Gardens Robinson School Frederick County Jr High Whittier Acres and Weaver Park plus a 14 000 study of city government management. About 17 000 remained from the Weaver Park land purchase and HUD allowed spreading that sum over the same park areas for further improvements. The grant enables coordinated cooperative efforts under City Manager Wendell Seldon.
