yet to
select the
six cities
which will re-
ceive such federal funding, De-
troit is believed to be on the
short list for approval, given Mr.
Archer's solid support within
the White House.
Mr. Dick said a federal zone
would complement his efforts in
attracting manufacturing, light
industrial, warehouse and in-
ternational commerce to De-
troit. The Atlas Project would
also seek to develop a commu-
nity bank and a technical and
trade school.
"We're looking to the Atlas
Project to be a catalyst in creat-
ing an environment that is con-
ducive to business, especially
small- and medium-sized firms
like those which flourished dur-
ing the early days of the auto-
motive industry," said Mr. Dick,
a native of Detroit.
"A year ago, I was surprised
to see all the empty buildings in
Detroit, coupled with the demise
of the surrounding communi-
ties. Businesses which locate
within a zone will have a
tremendous advantage over
companies outside the zone, as
they will have access to capital
for business expansion, tax and
wage benefits and access to
highly-skilled workers." ❑
