Redevelopment project files, 1953-1969.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313863380

Correspondence, reports, maps and site plans, photographs, legal documents, public hearing materials, and appraisal records documenting the redevelopment activities of the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) during the 1950s and 1960s. The majority of the records concern the Eastern and Western Redevelopment projects, which were conducted on more than 60 acres of land, located in neighborhoods to the immediate east and west sides of the State Capitol. Initial planning for these projects began in 1952, with property appraisal beginning in 1953. By January 1954, the St. Paul HRA had established a housing relocation service to assist those residents whose homes would be demolished by the Eastern and Western projects. By the end of 1957, all 1064 families and 253 single individuals formerly living in the redevelopment areas had been relocated.
