Kingsbury Redevelopment Corporation, an outgrowth of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council, is still working on its function, the rebuilding of the area between Delmar and DeGiverville, west of DeBaliviere. Seed money for the project has been deposited in the bank. Harvey Harris has been retained as attorney for the corporation.
Anselevicius & Rupe have been hired as architects and Pantheon Corporation for the construction work. Team 4 has been working since the planning stage as consultants in surveying and preparing the site plan.
At present SDCC is working on a memorandum of understanding between the various individuals and firms involved, outlining the function of each.
Since work on the project is done on an “if came” basis, payment for services will be contingent on final approval and release of funds for the work.
Still to be obtained is an architect’s drawing of a typical unit, which can be worked into the site plan so that cost projection can be estimated.
SDCC hopes to have these in hand and submit the project to HUD by early October.
SDCC director Cal Stuart reports that all are waiting for the new guidelines of the President’s Housing Commission and that the current fund freeze had slowed up KRC plans.
He is hopeful that interest rates will drop soon, since interest rates would have an effect on the rents to be charged in the planned new dwelling units.
