Broyhill informed Mayor John Henry Moss. Final approval means a $2,735,593 federal grant via the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the estimated $3,859,000 pro ject. Of the $3.8 million to tal, $887,404 is to be supplied by other agencies of govern ment, state, county and city, most of it “in kind” rather than cash, and much of it already spent and “in place”. The area is generally bounded by City street, Cansler street, Waco road, Watterson street and West Mountain street. In the area, some 80 per cent of the 225 residences are to be razed and replac ed — principal purpose ol the urban renewal project. However, according to the plans, numerous additional benefits will accrue — wid ened streets, expanded street lighting, utilities services improvements and a “green acres” or park area. Home owners Who re-build will be eligible for subsidy grants. Gene White, director ol the Kings Mountain Rede velopment Commission, said, “We should begin acquiring properties, particularly of dwellings already condemn ed and now vacant, within 45 days.” Application for HUD ap proval of the Cansler area project was made on July 20, 1967. Mayor Moss said, “The city is greatly appreciative of the continuing coopera tion of Representative Br9y- hill and his staff in gaining final approval of this project which will produce a dra matic change in revitalizing the project area, perhaps the most blighted area in the whole city. It is a major step toward fulfilling the goal of a suitable home for every citizen of Kings Moun tain, a program the city hopes to continue througn- out the seventies, via tne proposed federal Community lievelopment Act which has bi-partisan support and is expected to become law in time to be effective next July 1.” Population Hreater Kings ^1.914 City Limits 8.465 Grnaier iLuiya Mountola la darlvad ffam tka spAvinl Uultf*!!
