C. 20515 <br />• <br />OF I~A <br />• P. O. Box 1115 <br />LETTER OF INTENT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT <br />Dear Sir: <br />• <br />The City of La Porte intends to file an application for <br />Community Development Funds. <br />There is a dire need for recreational facilities to especially <br />serve the needs of the area in our City known as the "North Side". <br />This area contains many low income families and is predominately <br />"black". Civic leaders have expressed the desire to hold a <br />neighborhood or "town meeting" at the City Hall so that the. needs <br />of the area can be openly discussed and studied. <br />The City owns a tract of land in this area on which we would like <br />to construct a swimming pool, tennis courts, playground and other <br />recreational facilities. The estimated cost of these improvements <br />is two hundred thousand dollars. <br />Another badly needed item would be low income housing for the <br />same area. <br />Your assistance and consideration will be appreciated by the <br />citizens of La Porte. <br />Ver y yours, <br />J. J. Meza, Ma or <br />• <br />
