that the board not allow the

their request on the fact
that there are already two

Plans to develop and build a community owned shopping
center in East Winston hit a shag this week when the
city's application for a $340,000 Urban Development Action
Grant (UDAG) was turned down because of a lack
of loan and lease commitments.
^Wachovia ?ank and Trtnl Company had agreed to
make a $1.1 mHHoQ construction loan for th&project when
cent of the center's space, but the application was turned
down by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), specifically because of a lack of a
firm commitment for the loan from Wachovia.
The city has received statements of interest from Food
Town Stores, Eckerd Drugs, Family Dollar Stores and
Pic 4n Pay Shoe store chain. However, the project
feasibility is contingent upon the approval of the
$340,000 grant and the loan from Wachovia.
Efforts by R. Lewis Ray are sttfl continuing to secure
the $300,000 equity financing from members of the East
Winston community, that would ensure black ownership
of the shopping center.
The East Winston Local Development Co., headed by
Ray, formed a for profit organization called the East
Winston Plaza Shopping Center, Inc. which is selling
stock at $11.00 a share to raise the funds for the equity.
Last week Ray received a check for 30 shares of stock
from 87-year-old Odell Clanton, who also pledged to buy
more stock in the future.
"I figure that when black people are trying to build
something that's going to help the community, I ought to
be in there trying to help all I can," said Clanton, a
retiree of the Veteran's Administration. Clanton said he
is encouraging his friends and neighbors to invest in the
company also.
- Ray said that the company must sell 28,000 shares to
raise the necessary capital to purchase the equity from the
Minneapolis based developers RWSH, Incorporated.
44We have a verbal agreement with the developers to
buy the land equity for $300,000, exactly what he invested,"
explained Ray. "What we need to do is confirm ,
