RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Preliminary Marketing Plan -The Board decided to set aside the entire meeting
on August 3, 19R3 to discuss the new marketing plan for the redevelopment
project. They will review the proposals and present their thoughts,
suggestions, and concerns to City Council. Discussion followed on some
of the aspects of the preliminary marketing plan.
Each development component except residential has been reduced in total
square footage. Analysis of the use of public spaces should be made. It
was also noted that the Plan needs flexibility and needs to be saleable
today as well as tomorrow.
Ms. Owens noted that residential housing in Englewood is very desirable for
first time home buyers. By attracting the young families to Englewood,
the City will better utilize existing schools, etc. There was a question
as to the merits of builidng a senior citizen housing project in the middle
of the redevelopment project. A question was raised as to whether or not
the proposed plan could support public tax increment financing. The
amount of residential in the preliminary plan has been criticized. General
discussion followed.
These questions and concerns will be the topic of discussion at the meeting
on August 3, 1983.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:25 PM.
Respectfully submitted,

Barr~eman, Secretary
