The balance of the project in Project No. 1 will be offered for sale very shortly. Project No. 1 involved approximately $1,500,000 for purchase of property and demolition. The actual development by private developers will probably involve $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 in buildings and equipment.

Within Project No. 1, the city will develop more free off-street parking which will involve approximately $500,000. These lots will handle another 400 cars. These downtown improvement projects were brought about by a gradual deterioration pf the Central Business District. Business places were moving to the outskirts of the city into new shopping centers.

The tax base of the downtown area was fast slipping away and the city commission realized, this early in 1964 when the projects were started and are just now starting to bear fruit. Many other projects have been completed or are in the process of getting started in the downtown area. All new mercury-vapor street lighting has been installed. A $300,000 program is nearly completed for the rebuilding of 10 to 12 miles of old paved streets which deteriorated to the point that complete rebuilding was necessary. Another major project is now in progress.

That is the complete remodeling of the sewage disposal plant to increase its capacity to three times its present capacity. This project will cost $750,000. The second big project, one which will begin this spring, is a complete remodeling and enlargement of the city's water filtration plant.
