Liberty from page A1 * had through the Winston Salem Foundation because they help the CDCs so much in the city," Vickery said. "Ultimately it wasn't going to work for a multi tude of reasons, but it was one of the first things we did." In August 2014, Shaw told The Chronicle that some of the reasons he was resigning was due to some of the issues and lack of support the board has had from Winston-Salem City Council members; though he declined to give details. During the 2013-2014 fiscal year. Liberty CDC was given $8,820 by the city for operating expenses, which has been done for the past 10 years, in its annual budget of $140,000. The agency was given the same amount in the 2014 2015 fiscal budget. r xv ?:j * ociin saiu inai a large amount of the organiza tion's funding went to pay the executive director, and that was unacceptable. "We will not make a request for additional monies," Senft said. "You have to justify how that money will be used. We could no longer justify it." The money that was given provided salary sup port and rent for the build ing that Liberty CDC is housed in. "It was only those two items. The salary is gone, we have no salary requirements, so there's no need," he said. Senft said that "he is going to make it his busi ness to finish one project. "There is a parcel of land that we are trying to buy and sell, so we are pur suing that," he said. "I want to complete that effort." He wouldn't say where the land was but did say it was on Liberty Street. However, City Council passed a resolution in May 2014 authorizing the sale of city-owned property at the comer of Liberty Street and Northwest Boulevard to Liberty CDC. The reso lution allows the agency to purchase the combined 0.83 acre property, current ly valued at $97,800, for a proposed $22,500, at least four times less than its appraised value. Council requested that the new building be of a similar aesthetic design and quality as the building at the southeast corner of Liberty and 14th streets. Failure to meet that stipula tion would cause the prop erty to return to the city. A source that wishes to remain anonymous con firmed that this was the property that will be sold, at more than the price pur chased, to help clear the agency's debt. The city purchased the property in 2005 as part of the Liberty Street revital ization effort. According to records, the city aggres sively marketed the prop erty for redevelopment, but was unsuccessful. In 2009, the city partnered with Liberty CDC to find a developer. u/k;ia nu\\A miv xiutumbsi vnuu Development Center showed interest it later decided on another loca tion, and Liberty CDC has continued its quest to look for developers. Mayor Pro Tempore Vivian H. Burke said that residents should not be concerned about the disso lution of the CDC. "I believe that the area will continue to move for ward," she said. "We will continue to look out for the area." Senft said that he hopes that the needs of the com munity can continue to be met. Vickery said that she fe6ls it's the next best move for the community. "In lieu, of going through the search for dif ferent director or moving the CDC in a different direction, in might be better for the community to channel those resources into other areas, and by other areas I mean other organizations," she said.
