30 HAMPTON TOWN REPORT<br />
To the Citizens of Hampton, N. H.:<br />
Our activities this past year have been devoted<br />
almost entirely to efforts toward securing the finannancing<br />
of the Final Plan for Project Area No. 1.<br />
We have been up and down many paths at both the<br />
Federal and State level, but as of this date we have<br />
not arrived at a solution which we believe to be acceptable.<br />
It appears at the moment, due to recent conditions<br />
that have developed, that we may be able<br />
to reconsider Federal Urban Renewal as some previously<br />
qualifying requirements have been changed in<br />
our favor.<br />
If we do not have the Final Plan we obviously<br />
are still not in a position to ask for the Faith and<br />
Credit of the Town, and therein lies the reason why<br />
we do not have an Article in the Warrant this year.<br />
The Authority still feels very strongly that<br />
areas that are not being used at all, or that are being<br />
used in an unplanned and piecemeal manner,<br />
impair economic values as well as impair tax revenues<br />
to the Town, and thereby threaten the financial<br />
stability of the community.<br />
The reclamation of at least a part of our marsh<br />
area is the obvious answer for the future economic<br />
prosperity of the Town of Hampton, and we shall<br />
continue to work toward that end.<br />
Respectfully<br />
submitted,<br />
Douglass E. Hunter, Vice Chairman<br />
Walter F. Vanderpool, Clerk<br />
Paul F. Leary, Treasurer<br />
Albert B. Wright, Asst. Treasurer<br />
CARL M. LOUGEE, Chairman
