Based on the findings of the City Attorney's office last Friday, the staff of the Black Community
Developers would like to withdraw all applications related to the Empowerment Center at this
time without prejudice. Also, as a part of this request we are hoping to be able to resubmit these
applications in the future, and we would like to have any refilling fees waved when we bring
these three applications back to the Little Rock Planning Department. As you know, the avenue
that will be pursued now will be ordinance change which may take some time to finalize.
Therefore we would like to have no restrictions placed on the BCD — Empowerment Center with
regard to time frame for re -submittal or the waving of the application fees.
I will remove the signs from the property and the public notices have not gone out at this time.
We have some scheduled public meetings coming up at the Willie Hinton Center. I will let the
BCD decide if they want to continue with those or cancel. We do realize that if these meetings
continue we will be required to have them again more closely related to the planning commission
meeting that we would attend.
Thank you for all of your assistance in these matters and we are hoping we can be back on the
agenda very soon. Please let me know if you require any additional information or have any
questions. You can reach me in the office at (501) 664-3245.
