INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
°ATE 26 September 1980 FILE,
SUHIECT New Washington Heights Economic
Development Conference
FROM Dena Spillman, Director REFERENCES.
Department of Community Development
ENCLOSURES:
I spoke with Gil Bergquist, Chief, Bureau of Housing -Community Development for the
State Department of Community Affairs, this morning regarding possible state funding
for the New Washington Heights Economic Development Conference. Mr. Bergquist
informed me that applications for funding for Community Development corporations
from Dade County will be accepted up to December 1, 1980. It is anticipated that
decisions will be made on funding for Dade County Community Development corporations
in early January.
At this time there is no way to determine whether or not New Washington Heights
will be a recipient of a state grant. However, as New Washington Heights is one
of the few community -based organizations defined under state law as a Community
Development corporation in Dade County, it would appear that they would have a good
chance of receiving funds.
Based on this information, it is recommended that New Washington Heights receive
an additional $25,000 to come from current year Community Development contingency
funds to allow them to operate until the end of December, 1980, This should be
the City's absolute, final contribution to the organization's operating expenses.
