RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING REVISION OF
BOUNDARIES OF WESTROCK URBAN RENEWAL
PROJECT AREA, PROJECT ARK. R-4; AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, by Ordinance No. 10,870, duly adopted on
the 17th day of November, 1958, the City of Little Rock,
Arkansas, declared the Westrock Project Area Project Ark.
R-4+, as described therein to be a slum, blighted, deteriorated
or deteriorating area appropriate for an urban renewal and
redevelopment project and approved the Urban Renewal Plan
therefor as prepared and submitted by the Housing Authority
of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, and as covered by Loan
and Grant Contract entered into by said Authority with the
Urban Renewal Administration of the Housing and Home Finance
Agency of the United States of America on the 7th day of
April, 1959; and
WHEREAS, further study and planning and completion
of the final design of relocated U . S. Highway No . 10 through
the project area have indicated the necessity and desirability
of revising the project boundaries for the said Westrock Urban
Renewal Area so as to enable the Authority to carry out its
obligation to provide all necessary right-of-way to afford a
complete connection between old U. S. Highway No . 10 and the
relocated route thereof at the project area ' s western
boundary; and
WHEREAS, such revision of boundaries will require
the acquisition of a small additional land area; and
WHEREAS, it further appears that a small area of
land at the project ' s southwestern perimeter is not required
for project purposes and should be deleted therefrom; and
WHEREAS, this body recognizes and finds as a fact
that such revision of the project boundaries does not
materially or substantially change the Urban Renewal Plan
for said project area but is minor in nature and merely
implements and augments said Plan as it now exists ; and
WHEREAS, the proposed boundaries of said Vestrock
Urban Renewal Project Area, Project Ark. R-4, as revised,
are situated in the City of Little Rock, County of Pulaski
and State of Arkansas, and are described as follows, to-wit :
