Mr. Gainer said their study includes the condition of each building
in each area and they have so classified the buildings. He pre-
sented a map showing the areas with the highest density of major
repairs and dilapidation. They would study the cause of blight
in each section and their conclusion would contain suggestions
for what kind of treatment would be needed to conserve the
neighborhoods.
The report is now complete except for typing and printing and it
may be available at the next meeting. He went on to say they
are now studying community facilities and from this, will come
the long range program of possibly 20 years. This would then
help develop a b year capital improvement budget.
The chairman asked the city manager for an explanation of the
list of Department of Transportation road projects. The Board
was shown the Department of Transportation annual update
report and the summary list of projects in the Sanford area.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
