CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order by Eddie Roberts, Chair. A quorum was

Cathy Williams, President of Neighborworks Columbus, Inc. was present and made
a presentation to the Board on a project to purchase land in the Beallwood
Redevelopment Area. The land would be developed as housing for seniors. The
project would be a Section 202 HUD funded project. Ms. Williams is requesting
funds to purchase part of the land, with the other part of the land being
purchased by Neighborworks Columbus. The City?s funds would come from the
City?s Entitlement Funds. The amount of funding being requested is $63,000. A
motion was made by Lula Arrington to approve the funding for the purchase of
the land through Neighborworks Columbus to develop housing for seniors. Should
the Section 202 Application be denied by HUD, the deed for the land will
contain a clause/provision to revert ownership of the vacant property to the
City of Columbus. Charles Gibbs seconded the motion. The motion passed.
