HRA Meeting Minutes -3- August 20, 1990
Penn Ave./66th Street
There has been limited interest in the area. The staff will
begin a passive marketing program for that area within the next
30 days. In this area also, the weak market is responsible for
the lack of progress.
HUB
Executive Director Prosser reviewed the status of the HUB
parking controversy. Mr. Wallace informed Commissioners of
recent proposals for redevelopment of the HUH by Bradley
Development. While some of the ideas presented by Bradley are
attractive, they have not been feasible from a financial
perspective. Mr. Prosser described one proposal which included a
larger grocery store and the realignment of U.S. Swim and
Fitness.
New Home Program
Executive Director Prosser indicated that there was a need
for a special meeting on September 10 to take actions necessary
to proceed with the New Home Program. The Executive Director
indicated that at the recent Night Out For Crime evening,
residents expressed support across the community for the program.
