CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR URBAN RENEWAL OFFICE OF THE MAYOR CITY HALL-ATLANTA. GA. 30303 PHONE 524-2745 ROBERT L. SOMMERVILLE CHAIRMAN WILLIAM 5. HOWLAND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MRS. EVELYN DODDS SECRETARY November 17, 1967 Dear Executive Committee Member .. I feel sure that all of us agree with The Constitution's editorial today which said "Yesterday's announcement that Atlanta had been approved for a model cities planning grant is an event of major importance. It gives Atlanta what is potentially the most powerful tool it has ever used to reverse urban decay and to serve a changing population. "Atlanta's selection is at once a reward and a challenge. 11 Since our committee has been an ardent supporter of the Model City Program from its inception, I have asked Dan E. Sweat, the city's Director of Governmental Liaison, to brief us on the program I s present status and future potential at our meeting at 2 p.m., Tuesday, November 21, in the Directors Room, Fulton Federal Savings and Loan Building. Sincerely, , ':'s I I . !I J ( ·1-v t t { ~ William S. Howland �
