Greetings,
This note is my endorsement of the Park Central Housing Development/Washington Heritage
House Project submitted by Grace Hayes Blagdon, Patricia Washington McGraw, PhD., and
Kwendeche, AIA.
I wholeheartedly support this project as an innovative and exciting endeavor. It is an
appropriate companion and a true complement to the Little Rock Central High School National
Historic Site, to Little Rock Central High School, to the existing museum, to the proposed
visitor?s center, thus, to the overall neighborhood, and to the City of Little Rock.
The proposed programs from this project that will address human relations, global issues and
improve communications among peoples, will be good for the neighborhood, the city, state,
and the nation. I urge the Little Rock Planning Commission and any authority that reviews this
application to approve this very worthy concept.
By approving this application, a strong and lasting relationship between the aforementioned
entities, the City of Little Rock, and most of all, the neighborhood, shall evolve. Mixed-use

communities exist all over the world ? and certainly in many areas in Little Rock.
The concept of this project speaks volumes. Sometimes opportunity knocks only once. We
encourage the Little Rock Planning Commission to open the door!
Thank you.
