What’s a good way to spend $3.5 million?
—the Redevelopment Authority wants to hear from you — 2 days left
Last week numerous
county government officials
attended the Community
Development Act meeting
at Beahm Junior High, as
did about SO people from
“.. the surrounding area.
The meeting’s purpose
was to take suggestions
from the public on ways to
spend the $3.5 million the
Federal government is
sending to our county for
housing improvements.
Although Marietta has
already been designated as
an area highly likely to
receive funds, only one or
two people from Marietta
attended the meeting.
About a dozen came from
Mount Joy, which is likely
to get less money.
The greatest number
came from E-town, an area
not even mentioned as a
possibility by the county
officials.
The Housing and Com-
munity Development Act
has just been renewed after
three years of doling out
money to communities
through counties. As part
of its re-enactment a
greater emphasis was plac-
ed on helping low income
areas, the reason that
Marietta can get money
easier than Mount Joy.
Speaking at the meeting,
County Redevelopment
Authority spokesman Dave
Carque-Nesbit said that the
message from Washington
is coming through ‘‘loud
and clear’’ that the funds
must be used to fight
blight. Blight is defined as
any housing which is
unsafe or unsanitary.
However, both towns are
on the county’s list of areas
to get aid.
He stressed that pro-
posals must deal with
housing blight to be con"
sidered; however, projects
need not deal with this
problem directly. Carque
-Nesbit gave the example
of a proposal for a
community center, which
might raise community
pride, leading home owners
to take more pride in their
houses, leading them to
put money and time into
repairing them, thus elim-
inating blight — the
community center would be
eligible.
The date for the county’s
acceptance of proposed
projects was last Monday.
They will be accepted until
this Friday.
County authorities will
draw up a list from all the
proposals totalling $3.5
million, which will be
approved by the County
Commissioners. The list
will then be
Washington.
Because the meeting at
Beahm was attended by
record numbers of people,
the county representatives
asked the people to split
into groups by areas and
submit project proposals.
The group from Mount Joy
submitted these:
1. A day care facility
2. Rehabilitation of low

DSA banquet
The Mount Joy Jaycees
will hold the Distinguished
Service Awards Banquet at
Hostetter’s at 6 PM on
January 21st.
The award will be
presented to a young man
for outstanding contribu-
tions to the Mount Joy
community.” At the same
time the Joycee-ettes will
give the Woman of the
Year award to some
deserving young woman.
Also, the Jaycees will
present other awards to
various persons.
Miss Gloria Longenecker,
former Miss Lancaster
County, will entertain the
group. (Joi Shearer will not
appear, as was erroneously
announced last week.)
The public is cordially
invited to attend the
banquet. Tickets are $4.50.

Borough Manager Joe
Bateman, on behalf of the
Borough, proposed a con-
tinuation of storm sewer

thority asked for wells and

In addition, the Friend-

representatives requested
continuation of funding for
their work in the Borough.
Marietta people had
been combined with the
few from Columbia and
various townships which
were considered low in-
come areas. The group
produced these proposals:
1. Storm sewers in
Bainbridge, Marietta, and
Columbia
2. Restoration of the old
Marietta elementary school
which is now occupied by
the Jaycees, for the
purpose of a recreation
