In many cities, revitalization has increased housing a_ ommercial rental costs, making the cities unaf- fordable to residents, he says. To combat this trend, Barnes and others involved with devel- opment projects are seeking creative ways to make revitalized areas affordable. -"We want to make sure that individuals in the community presently are part of that development process ... that they benefit from it says Barnes. "That is, as incomes grow, com- munity residents' incomes also grow. As houses are built, indi- viduals in the community can buy those houses." Since 2000, the Rebirth of Englewood Community Development Corp. has spurred more than $19 million in economic growth through new housing, job creation, and small business develop- ment. One way the organization has sought to make sure Englewood residents aren't displaced is by partnering with corporations to offer residents jobs that pay $4,000 to $5,000 more than the com- munity's median income. Kansas City, Missouri, is another city experiencing a renaissance of sorts. City Manager Wayne A. Cauthen oversees $12 billion worth of economic development downtown. Among the planned projects are a $276 million sports arena and an $850 million entertainment district.

Striking a balance with upscale development is just as crucial as providing for lower -income residents, says Michael E. Johnson, president of Em Johnson Interest Inc., a San Francisco -based development company currently working on a $72 million construction project in San Francisco's Filimore jazz district. "In neighborhoods like this we cannot continue to have all sub- sidized, Section 8, and below -market -rate housing and expect to increase economic development in the community. [We must] bring in a mix of higher incomes, both residential and commercial," Johnson says. —Tamara E. Holmes [ AROUND THE NATION ] KING PAPERS FIND FITTING HOME THE PAPERS OF DR.

Franklin helped forge a coalition of business leaders, individuals, and philanthropists who pledged the $32 million purchase price for the papers a week before they were scheduled to be auctioned at Sotheby's in New York. "These papers represent a large part of Atlanta's cultural legacy," says Franklin_ "Keeping them in Atlanta was a tremen- dously important thing to do."
