The proposal calls for the redevelopment of single-family residences in the area near Cameron and Gray avenues, stretching from 12th to 14th streets in East Winston. The proposal was part of a general redevelopment plan tor several East Winston neighborhoods considered by the , committee at a Monday after- j noon meeting. The options submitted by the city-county plann- j ing staff proposed that the city would purchase houses in the area, demolish them and offer the land to developers so that they could build new housing units. Of the three options presented to the committee, the city-county planning staff recommended that both single-family and duplexes be built in the area. The proposed houses would carry price tags of between $50,000 and $55,000. But com"munity leaders and the cityV housing and neighborhood -developmenU-staff? favored building only single-family houses. itinues sear left home for one wrong and couh home," he said. ..
