Stone Laid For Town of Modi’in TEL AVIV (JTA) — In the Jerusalem hills, halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the foundation stone has been laid for Modi’in, planned to become Israel’s third-largest city. The city will stand just inside the old “Green Line” on the site where the Maccabees launched their rebellion against the Has- monean Greeks, for which Cha- nukah is celebrated. The new city, situated between Ben-Gurion Airport and the pre- 1967 border, is being built at the hub of the country’s major north-south and east-west road complex. The cornerstone was laid by Housing Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, at a ceremony at tended by Prime Minister Yitz hak Rabin, a half-dozen Cabinet ministers, Israel’s two chief rabbis, a score of foreign ambas sadors and many invited guests. Ben-Eliezer noted that the city is being planned for a population of 250,000. Public tenders for some 4,000 of 65,000 planned housing units have recently been issued. Modi’in is the first of three new towns to be built in the next decade that will parallel the coastal plain. The planned towns are a crucial part of Ben-Eliezer’s answer to the growing housing demand in the country’s central region and could provide an alternative to the inexpensive housing in the territories. Many of the 130,000 West Bank residents are believed to have moved across the pre-1967 border not for political or ide alistic reasons but because of the territory’s inexpensive housing prices. Modi’in is said to be one of the world’s first new towns being built for the 21 st century in terms of services, planning and quality of life. Its entire infrastructure sys tem will be underground, and an ultra-modern city center is in tended to include all commer cial, community and education services, including vocational colleges, art schools and a uni versity. The Housing Ministry plans to invest $205 million in infra structure for Modi’in, while housing and other construction is to be financed by private contractors. ‘Rn^aaement Page 23-THE NEWS-January 1994 Gertzman Gertzman - Hildreth Tamara Denise Hildreth and Steven Marc Gertzman, both of Charlotte, were married Nov. 6 at Sharonview County Cub.
