Mr. Marshall Carlisle of Murphy, Carlisle, and Taylor, Attorneys at Law, made a request to the Board to explore the possibility of changing the Urban Renewal plan which calls for demolition of the buildings on Center Street which houses their offices and the Farmers Market.

Mr. Carlisle stated that if there is no alternative to demolition, then they will begin relocation. 411 The Commissioners will consider this request. • 3 Mr. Gould asked Mr. Wilson for a report on Housing, TPP, and the Modernization Program.
