rental market will be adequate to accommodate low-income families to
be displaced from the project area.

for
Kenduskeag Stream Urban Renewal Project
Bangor Urban Renewal Authority
Bangor, Maine
The following tables summarize the estimated coats and proposed
financing of the Kenduskeag Urban Renewal Project which will be submitted
to the United Slates Housing and Home Finance Agency after the referendum
in June 1964.
The estimated local one-fourth share of net project coat, $1,768,121,
is proposed to be paid for by supporting facilities which have been or are to
be furnished by the City a Bangor, ae tabulated below, and by $10,689 in
the form a< tax credits, as explained below. Of the estimated total of
$1, 757,432 for supporting facilities the City of Bangor has already expended
$1, 507, 342 for the Kenduskeag Stream Parking Plaza. The balance of sup-
porting facilities is proposed to be made up of $250,090 from
expenditures by the City of Hanger for other facilities supporting the Project,
largely additional off-street parking.
R the City foregoes collection of taxes on property acquired by the
Urban Renewal Authority for the Project, it may receive a credit for such
amount toward its share of project cost. It is proposed to take $10,689 as
such tax credits, being the difference between the local one-fourth share
and the total of supporting facilities.
The federal grant-in-aid to the Project, three-fourths of net project
coat, is estimated to be $5, 304, 361.
