CITY OF .ATLANT.A CITY HALL ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 May 31, 1968 IVAN ALLEN , JR., MAYOR R. EARL LANDERS, Administrative Assistant MRS. ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT; JR., Director of Governmental Liaison Mr. M. B. Satterfield Executive Director Atlanta Housing Authority 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Satt: Of the several categories of low-income housing to meet the City's five year goal, Public Housing, including Turnkey development, is the category in which we are currently most behind. Locating suitable sites for this type development is extr eme ly difficult and experienc e to date indicates that we cannot afford to leave most of this problem up to the hopeful developers. In order to speed up construction of the Public Housing units which we have reserved, I would like for the Housing Authority to assume responsibility for development, by the Housing Authority itself (old method), of 1, 000 units of our current reservations, in addition to the Public Housing units currently planned for the existing Thomasville Urban Renewal project, the Bedford - Pine Urban Renewal project and Honor Farm No . 1 site. We will endeavor to assist you in every way feasible 1n obtaining suitable sites for these additional units. Sincerely yours, Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor cc: Mr. Edwin L. Sterne �
