YOUR DOWNTOWN
Get The Downtown "Big Picture"
People interested in the future of downtown can get a glimpse of the "big picture"
for the downtown general neighborhood on August 20. At 7:30 p. m. in the City Council
Chambers of the Municipal Building on Tuesday,
August 20, a public hearing will be held on
the downtown GNRP (General Neighborhood Renewal Plan).
Plans scheduled for the next ten years for
renewing and rebuilding Greensboro's central
core will be explained and discussed. There
will be maps showing proposed plans for thoroughfare, land use, zoning and other functions. Color slides of artist's sketches will
demonstrate possible treatment for buildings
in a number of blocks. You can see what your
block could look like after renewal.
The cost and financing of the various projects will be discussed, along with means of
financing private construction and remodeling
within the area. (Special loans are available
to businesses in renewal project areas to upgrade their facilities).
This hearing will be a chance for every
downtown-minded person to hear and be heard
on tangible plans for downtown Greensboro's
future for the immediate future and beyond.
Come and discuss what has been conceived
as a "decade of f \ action" for Greensboro.
GREENSBORO PUB
Avin Moves to Atlanta
Lynwood Avin, formerly Business Relocation
Advisor with the Redevelopment Commission,has
accepted a position as Business Relocation
Specialist with the Regional Office of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development
in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Avin began his
duties there in mid-July.
Mr. Avin performed invaluable service during his two year's employment with the Redevelopment Commission. He obtained extensive
help from the Small Business Administration
in the relocation of businesses displaced by
renewal activities. He was instrumental in
encouraging significant new development and
expansion for many businesses throughout the
city.
As a result of his work, the problem of
moving has been turned into a valuable opportunity for many businesses to retool,and modernize, or expand their facilities.
Mr.Avin's duties with HUD will cover eight
southeastern states. We look forward to continued assistance from him as he visits
periodically to advise in matters of business
relocation.
We congratulate Mr. Avin in his new position. We extend to him our best wishes and
our gratitude for a job well done.
L £ L With a View
Another sandwich shop-cafe has opened in
the downtown area. This one has a view. It's
located on the 7th floor of the Wachovia
Building.
Cafeteria style self-service is quick, the
food is good, the surroundings pleasant, and
the location is excellent. You can get all
the coffee you can drink for a dime.
If you have enjoyed the food at the L 6 L
at 216 South Greene Street, try the new L 6 L
at 715 Wachovia Building.
