The residents of the area affeoted b7 Urban Renewal ProJeot No.2. for
\he C1\y ot SaUna, Mnse.s, request yovr Dlsist.noe ln havlng thil proJeot
nJaot8ð. The reasons for th1s request be1ng listed below.
1. Thls project would brin~ unnecessary hardshlp to the aajorlty
of the 121. fa.1l1es and lndlvlduals lhint: in this lITem. Th18
is .1~c1ally true In'vlew of the fact t~t no satlsfaotory or
,noticnl provisions have been ande for the relocation or re-
Mbi11tation of these falÛl1es end lnd1Yld\l8la.
2, ';he mln p1U'!IOse of thla project 111 to reno.,. the rollli11e8 in
t.hb area 10 order \0 clellr the land to allow privaf.. lndustry
into th1ll area, One of the reasons r.1ven 18 thAt part of the
holies ore substandard. The Dmber of homes th...t are sUbat3nd3rd
is unknown to the Urban Renewal Authorities. or the 121. faDUles
and 1ndlvidœls that live in this area, oYer 80 are "roperty owners
and taxpayers that own their hOllllBs. Over 1.0 of these foDilles end
lndlvldunls are ponsloned. reoelvinR elther soclel securlty or
rallroad ponslons. The total of familles and lndlvlduals receiving
welfare is ~, and 6 or these receive only portlal -lfare, bo1t'l~
also pensioned. Some or these famlUes and individuals are both
f"inane1aUy or physical1,. unable to mlntain or iJl¡n'Ove thelr hollllls.
3.
'i'he tnliJorlty of the peoplo that live in this ereli end t!mt are
un"ble to l!I!lintaln or i","rove their horaes would epprociaf.e II
rehobl11tatlon or hoce iJl~rovoaent procraft with eithor loosl or
federal assistance, to i";>rove tholr holllCs, if such e proara..
could be offered or ln1tl..tod. No such prOI!rOD hos either been
offered or inltlotod. A rehabilitation pro~rllft would be a more
feasible plan than the Urban Renewal Projoct No, 2.
1,. ';here ere ot tbe present \111>8 other areas In Sallna far IIIOre
suit6ble for. the use by industry. The CoreJOOst of these being
the ~contl,. acquired former Schilling Air Force ~se, with
hundreds of. cleared acres and I113n7 e,::ot,. buildings. 'I'h1e also
inolules good roads and a railroad spur going into the center
of tbe area. The use of thls pro!J8rty would not necessitate
the IIOving ot faDllies in Urbon Renewal ProJeot No.2.
-2-
5. Thb project. NaS been epo,l.1ed for wUhout. t.he oons8llt. or
con.ult.s\1on of. t.he people who live in the area. Also. t.he
people in this area nre vlthout equal ond folr renresen~t.1OD
in t.he Citizens ConDlttee for Urbnn Renewml wit.h only one
Nllber who Uves in t.his area on t.he colllll1\\ee. They ban 110
representation on the Urbon Renewl !:xocuti¥'l ConDl\\ee. W.
re.l that. to de'O)rlve home owners and taxpayers of t.heir hoMe
aDd property wUhout. their consent.. just. o.use aDd ec¡\làl
