Ot this, three lmu 'hs or approximately $-t million was being in ftural The tug prugrain was broken in'o two p'ijms with the first phase covering two years and a gns cost of 3 million and $10 million in federal matching funds. Included in the first phase costs are an estimated $20 million in land and property acquisition and another $114 million for relocation costs. Ordinarily in an urban renew, al program, the cost of the program is reduced by the resale of land acquired by the city to private developers.

The amount estimated the city will realize from resale during the first phase is quite small because most of the land to be acquired will bo developed into a flood way and ownership retained by the city. The estimated recovery from resale of land over the total pro-pram is about $2 milium, but only about during -the first two years of disaster recovery. Swanson and the mayor feel strongly about retaining the fioodway clear of any structures for the future protection and safety of the people. The recommended way to keep the fioodway clear is for the city to retain control of the land. Once the two-year disaster recovery phase is completed, or perhaps before, the city will start its redevelopment and renewal program in the remainder of the urban renewal boundaries, which include a major overhaul of the downtown core area.

Construction of the new civic center will be going 05 during the phase one period, however, because it is rot dependant upon federal matching funds. It is an important part of the program, nonetheless, since its estimated at $4 million or a part of it will help provide "soft match" for the city's share in matching the federal funds. Another structure, expected lo be underway early next year, is the Dahl fine arts center. Since Mr. and Mrs.

Art Dahl are donating the $300,000 to the city for its construction, the money could count considerably toward the city's matching share. Of prime concern toward the latter part of the first phase, or early in phase two, is the development of an industrial park in which to relocate downtown industries relying principally on railroad service. This also would permit relocating the mass of railroad tracks from the downtown area to the industrial park. Present thinking, which could change as circumstances develop, is to locate the industrial park on the southeast edge of the city. Its importance to the community is that it will help bolster the economic base by attracting new industry and opening up new jobs.

In the way tiaokground, the city was in a unique position at the time of the flood. It had just submitted an application and ono-vear plan for a Neighborhood Development Program in the amount of of which about would be in federal funding. This small program nad been trimmed down trom two previous attempts, first a General Neighborhood Renewal Program (GNPuP), which was a long-range program which had littie chance of approval. Then to the short-range, year-at-a-time urban renewal program dubbed a Neighborhood Development Program NDP).

The first efforts he-re, which called for federal funds amounting to nearly $1 million, were returned with the admonition from HUD that the regional office in Denver had only about fcflti.Ooo which was available for funding new programs. The city's shaved-do-tfn application was under consideration in Denver when the disaster struck. Almost immediately, Robert C. Rosenheim, regional director for HUD, sent Carroll Goodwin, an urban development specialist, to Rapid City with the recommendation the small project be withdrawn and the city reapply for a much larger urban renewal program and include plans for disaster recovery. The city also was told to make an immediate application for a $300,000 grant from HUD with which to prepare the plan and application for the new Neighborhood Development Program.

The city made the application and the grant was approved on June 23, on condition that the new plan be completed and resubmitted to HUD within 60 days. On July 1, the city also cre-the firm of THK Associates of Denver to prepare the plan a mammoth, multi-million dollar program that would encompass a period of recovery and redevelopment over eight years with the first two years concentrated on recovery from the disaster. During the course of preparing the plan, HUD officials advised the city to change courses and apply for a conventional ui ban renewal program, including disaster recovery, instead of the year-at-a-time Neighborhood Development Program. On July the city also created an Urban Renewal Department and named Public Works Director Leonard Swan-son as the urban renewal director. Swanson took with him as his assistant, Ernest Hansen, then serving as director of utilities, THK Associates staff, working with Swanson and his small team, developed the proposed disaster urban renewal program and the plan and application were approved by the city council and other agencies and de- events cjn Thursday Rapid Cily SI evens High School will hold its third homecoming event Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

"These donors are needed to furnish the material or the newly discovered serum Rho-GAM, and blood typing serums. Both are able to be produced from human serum only and both are in shrt supply and great demand," said Ron Rim-by, director of Blood Services. Donors, usually women, having RH antibodies are needed to furnish the material to produce R'no GAM, which, when injected into mothers having IUI negative type blood, can prevent the hemolytic disease called erythroblastosis fetalis, which claims thousands of infant lives each year, according to Rim-by. Donors having any antibody are needed to furnish the material to produce blood typing serums. Men and women alike may have an antibody or what they may call a "blood irregularity" and can be donors, Rim-by added.

He said that persons who know or think they have antibodies will be interviewed to determine their eligibility and willingness to donate. A simple lab test on a sma'l blood sample can quickly determine a person's blood type and if there are any antibodies present.
