He advised that he had been in business at his current location on Lincoln Avenue for six years, and feels that he is currently in a very detrimental position because of the downtown redevelopment effort. He further alleged that the merchants moving into the Harbor Center are receiving subsidized rentals for those shops at 20G per square foot, whereas he has for the past three to four months searched for a new location and has been unable to find anything under 45 to 65� per square foot,which amount he cannot afford. Mr. Priest reported that when the Harbor Center project was initiated, the task of contacting local merchants to ascertain whether or not they would be interested was given to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, and to his knowledge they went door -to -door to explain the project to the merchants. In addition, there was held a series of meetings over a period of three months. At this time, interest was solicited from everyone who wished to move-to the Harbor Center. At a later time, if a merchant who had not expressed interest then wanted to move into the center, there was no space. He explained that his department has been working specifically with Mr. Palumbo on relocation sites. and cur- rently have one possibility in Santa Ana. They will, however, continue to work with him until a suitable location is found, as that is their obligation. 78 -96 ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY - JUNE 27, 19 - 1:00 P.M.
