Dear Mr. Sweat:
Another FIRST for Atlanta!
Thursday, May 30, 1968 at 10:00 a.m. the Atlanta Housing
Authority will be host at ground-breaking ceremonies for the first
"New Town-In Town" program in the country. To reach the site in the
Thomasville Urban Renewal Area, please turn south off McDonough Boulevard
on Henry Thomas Drive. Direction signs from that point will be posted.
It is our hope that you can be present on this important
occasion to meet and hear Dr. Robert C. Weaver, Secretary, Department
of Housing and Urban Development. With Mr. Edward H. Baxter, Regional
Administrator, DHUD, presiding, Dr. Weaver will be presented by Mayor
Ivan Allen, Jr. Others participating will include John T. Edmunds,
Assistant Regional Administrator, DHUD; Warden Gordon Blackwell, U. S.
Federal Penitentiary; Cary Hooks, Director, Georgia Federal Housing
Administration; and Wilbur H. Sanders, Regional Administrator, General
Services Administration.
One hundred and twenty acres have been made available to
the Authority by the Federal Government to use in developing a new
model community in Atlanta. This new neighborhood, superior in schools,
parks and other community facilities, is expected to show the way for
cities in the nation to utilize federal surplus lands to meet critical
urban needs. This ground-breaking is symbolic of the type of leader-
ship Atlanta is furnishing the nation.
Sincerely,
Chow CO Ms
