The board authorized Isothermal Planning and Development Commission to prepare the appli- cation for a Home grant of $300,000 and a CDBG grant of $250,000. City Manager George Wood said that a Hickory-based corporation is buying the 4.6 acres and 50 apart- ment complex which they say is presently in sub-standard condi- tion. The low-modcrate income apartments arc currently owned by a private owncr. "This sounds good and will be a big improvement in housing," said Commissioner Jim Guyton. Future plans by developers David L. Middleton, Mark Wilson and Edward McGimpsey Sr. in- clude building a skilled nursing center on the vacant land adjacent to the apartments and on-site day care. Wood said that Chesterfield Development Corporation princi- pals have 28-plus years combined cxpericnce in development, sales marketing and operation of hous- ing for low-moderate income ten- ants. Administrative fees of $22,600 arc included in the project financial summary totaling $1,204,900. If approved, the state funds and a conventional loan will purchase, rehabilitate, and manage affordable * low and moderate income rental units. Under the agreement the city pays no matching funds and the de- veloper holds the city harmless for any and all potential relocation costs.
