reputation.
Mr. Temple stated that the proposed site in the State College

Mr. Barlow commented that the proposed agreement with O'Donnell
Armstrong & Partners will provide more benefit to the Agency than the
agreement which was executed with Campeau. This proposed agreement will
result in development agreements being executed with each individual/firm
to which O'Donnell Armstrong sells. In addition, this agreement will
provide enforcement capability on the part,of the Agency. The Campeau
agreement did not provide this capability.
Committee Member Maudsley expressed support for the project.
Mr. Temple stated that it is possible that the project could be
finalized very quickly and, therefore, could be brought to the Community
Development Commission for approval in January, 1990.

For discussion only. No recommendation. No action.
