Description
Memo from Dero Downing to Kelly Thompson regardng acquisition of Jonesville property.
This is to report to you on my phone discussion with Mr. Charlie Cherches of this morning.
Mr. Cherches states that of the sixty-six (66) parcels of land in the Jonesville Urban Renewal Project, fifteen (15) parcels have been purchased with options taken on twelve (12) additional pieces. One house has been razed and two more will be torn down as soon as possible.
He has indicated that a hard core of resistance had been met and that they were rapidly approaching the point where the remaining acquisitions would have to come through a special negotiator and possibly court action.
He has promised to keep us advised of the progress which they are making.
Respectfully yours,
Dero G. Downing, Dean of Business Affairs
