The State Urban Development Corp.

pledged through Edward J. Logue, its president and executive director, to fulfill its obligation to the city of Troy, Tosses Ball As guest speaker at the annual Greater Troy Chamber of Commerce dinner in Mario's Theater Restaurant Wednesday night, Logue literally "tossed the ball" to Troy, because "it is here where success or failure Will be determined." He warned the residents of the Collar City "not to rely on the state and federal governments to do the work alone." Although Loguc repeatedly cautioned the 400 chamber members and friends assembled in Mario's that the "big decisions" concerning the project will be made by local personnel, he spoke very optimistically of Troy's assured progress in the if the city government, the Urban Renewal Agency, the C. of C. and the rank, and file businessmen coordinate their efforts. 'More Process' At one point in his address, Logue informed the gathering "Troy has made more progress in a short time than any other community in (lie stale that is working through the UDC."

Local department stores, he reminded attendees at the din- nor, must face the decision that branches of nationally known retail chains must be sold on the idea of coming to the new Troy, as welcome competitors. The city government has to decide that parking is vital to the mall and make arrangements to provide tho needed space. To Take Risks "The UDC is ready and willing lo take risks. We have the tools and resources to accomplish things a local government can not handle alone. If all work as a unit, the Uncle Sam Wall can be part of Troy in the 1870s," Logue emphasized.
