He also emphasized that the HRA Capital Fund would be depleted to the $1,000,000 trust poxtion by year end 1988. This situation, caused because the HRA has not been able to find reimbursement for development related administrative costs through new development in the ILN or LHN area, would leave the Capital Fund without "seed money" to pursue additional development.
