process.

shopping center at Manchester
and Woodward, by "coordinat­
ing" the successful application

p-oposed center.
DEVCO is searcldng foe ad­
tional funds to make the center
possible, he said .
Noting that more than 400-
businesses exist in Highland
Park, Richie said research
shows that it is the existing busi­
oesses that serve as a base for
expansion.

five loans tota1nDg $400,000 to
city firms creatiDg 81 DCW jobs
and keqUg S7�<*.

Both the Chamber and
DEVCO are working with
Mayor Martha Scott aod the city

the city, he reported.
In closing, he challenged the
Chamber suggesting, • we ac­
cept responsibility for the suc­
cess or for the failure of our
community. And it is in the ac­
ceptance of responsibility for
failure that the real scope of our
challenge begins to take shape.
"Choice not chance, deter­
mines destiny, .and as a com­
munity, we needfor the choices
that our leaders make, and that's
us, to be affected by the sense of
personal accountability that ac­
companies acceptance of
responsibility for the state of
Urban America"
