<br />93-418 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of
<br />the following ordinance and resolutions pertaining to the
<br />proposed 1994 Community Development Block Grant Program.
<br />
<br /> "At your last meeting, you held a public hearing with the
<br />Commissioners of the Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing
<br />Authority on the proposed 1994 Community Development Block Grant
<br />Program. I am especially pleased to present this recommendation
<br />to you because there are a variety of activities in the proposed
<br />program which will benefit many areas of the City. Among the
<br />most important is the allocation of $500,000 for the development
<br />of the TCC Arts Center. Next year at this time, there will be
<br />2,000 arts students, plus teachers and administrators in the
<br />former Famous building. This activity, along with the opening
<br />of the Children's Museum of Virginia, will change forever the
<br />face of our downtown central business district.
