City Postpones Consideration of SW Redevelopment Plan

The agenda for the City Council’s meeting this Wednesday December 20, does
not include consideration of the Southwest Redevelopment Plan. Apparently,
the city has reconsidered its ill-advised plan to rush through its Plan
before the holidays.

Many thanks to all the HSPC members who, through their letters to the editor
and other efforts, helped make the City aware of the public outrage which
would have resulted.

It is imperative that the city take whatever time it needs to ensure that
the Southwest Redevelopment is done right.

HSPC will continue to keep you advised as to upcoming developments as we
become aware of them. Your continuing support is essential to helping us
ensure that the community’s voice is heard when Southwest Redevelopment
decisions are made.
