Show Board Approves Boundary Changes For Neighborhood The Joint Board of Commissionerahave approved the expansion of the Model Neighborhood as reported in the May edition of the Model Neighborhood News. The new boundaries are shown in the map. The new Model Neighborhood Target Area will encompass 45,924 people or 26,558 more than were in the old Model Neighborhood. Added in the new area were C.H.A.T., Central City, and the Peoples Freeway neighborhood areas. According to the 1970 census reports, the new Model Neighborhood will have 16,922 homes or more than twice as many homes than the old neighborhood area. While the old neighborhood had only 150 homes lacking one or more plumbing facilities, the new neighborhood contains 10 times that number. Doubling this size of the neighborhood, tripled the number of homes without flush tiolets and multiplied by 10, the number of homes with inadequate plumbing. These figures and others like them have shown that the added areas do need to assess their problems and address themselves to the problems of the neighborhood. If the expanded area meets with the approval of the Salt Lake City and County Commissions the proposal will be forwarded to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for approval. Once approved by HUD, the new expanded area will be affected by Model Cities programs during the second action year (March, 9171 to February, 1972.)
