October 27, 1981 <br /> <br /> Michael Kay, Executive Director of the Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority, <br />presented the following statement: <br /> <br /> "The 1982 Community Development Program year represents a continuation and expansion of <br />revitalization activities previously approved by the City Council, including several redevetoF <br />merit and conservaticn projects which are currently underway. The program being presented her~ <br />this evening represents recommendations for the utilization of increasingly limited community <br />development resources to address conditions of blight and deterioratien in our city in areas <br />previously designated for such treatment. As Mr. House indicated, we are facing a cut-back <br />in community development funds during the 1982 year and perhaps in the future. In addition, <br />the Community Development Program application process has been significantly simplified in <br />accordance with recent program regulation changes. A proposed Statement of Community Develop- <br />ment Objectives and Use of Funds, which was published in the Currents and of which each of you <br />has a copy, will represent the basis upon whick the Department of Housing and Urban Developmen <br />will fund our 1982 Program. - <br /> <br /> I would now like ~o summarize the major programs preposed for funding in the 1982 Commun~ <br />ty Devlopment Program year, following which I will be pleased to answer any questions." <br /> <br /> Jim Hartley, 43 E. P~llux Ciricle, representing Simonsdale Civi Club, stated that a re- <br />quest for a Study Commission of Citizens, representing all communities of the city on housing <br />needs for the city had been previously requested; spoke on the proposed CD Program for South- <br />side Project regarding funds to be used for assembling of property for new residential and <br />non-residental uses; spoke on the Crawford Project concernzng relocation; inquired why only 15 <br />for conservation and stated that mor~.money was needed to be spent on conservation.
