Re:Hearings for adoption of 218-300 Stanton
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
We are requesting that the three readings required for the adoption of the 218-300 Stanton as an Urban
Revitalization area be collapsed into one. It is our understanding that the determination for the amount of the project
that gets tax abatement is dependent upon the state of the project when approved. The project is currently underway.
The footings are being prepared now, and the pre-cast concrete is set to start being erected on June 9, 2003. We
want to take full advantage of the opportunity the City has offered for incentive for this type of project. We are
excited to bring more parking to the Campustown area.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Russ K.McCullough Ph.D.
Chief Economist
