Bill Harkey, owner of Bill's Shoes and a business partner in the building that houses 11 small business on the 500 block of Trade Street, received a letter Jan. 20 from City Hall indicating that he and his tenants may have to be relocated in order to make way for the new parking deck.

"Ninety percent of the things I know were rumors before the letter," said Harkey. "When you get a letter from an authority, you know that means business." City Manager Bill Stuart indicated that no cause for alarm exists as of now and said the *felocation letters were "premature."
