The City of La Porte <br />agrees to convey the subject property to your organization, in <br />consideration of its use of the property in accordance with the <br />terms of this letter, with the title to any unused property to <br />revert to the City of La Porte in five years. The use of the <br />property would be strictly limited to the purposes stated in this <br />letter. <br /> <br />The City of La Porte will benefit by the activities of your <br />organization, in providing housing for its low income residents, <br />and returning this property to the tax rolls. <br /> <br />I'.',), HllX III~ · 1..11'.,rt,..
