Private Agent
For Southwest
Firm Would
Assemble Duto
For 3 Years
By ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer


The Redevelopment Land
Agency today approved a plan
to let a private community
corporation" act as its agent
in connection with Southwest
waterfront redevelopment.
Under the proposal, an in
corporated body to be set up
by the Federal City Council
would be employed by RIA for
three years to assemble in
formation and perform other
functions" in connection with
rebuilding the waterfront area.
Approval of the Housing and
Home Finance Agency will be
needed for the plan.
The corporation would be
known as Washington Chan
mel Waterfront, Inc, and would
have a full-time paid staff.
RIA Chairman Neville c.
Miller explained that his
agency would not delegate its
own functions" under the con-
tract yet to be drawn up.
He also emphasized that
RLA's desire is that the cor
poration be broadly repre-
sentative" of the community.
Council Approved
The idea of drawing on COM
munity aid to coordinate work
Of remaking the waterfront
was proposed privately by RIA
officials some weeks ago and
met with Federal City Council
approval.
The dollar amount Of the
contract likewise will be sub
ject to HHFA approval, John
r. Searles, jr.. RIA executive
director, said today.
"It will be necessary for the
incorporated body to have .
paid staff Of high caliber ow-
ing to the importance Of this
work." he said.
"A chartered organization Of
this kind would serve as our
agent and could be used as
. planning and co-ordinating
team" Mr.. Searles said.
I'VE would be employing the
corporation to do this work for
us. just as any other contrac-
tor, but we would not be dele
eating basic decisions which
RIA must properly make it
self"
In another action, RIA Au-
thorized execution Of a contract

Harbour Square cooperative
apartment project in the
Southwest redevelopment area.

tract will have to await ap-
