As I am sure that you are aware, the Bank is concerned with the ability of the economy to generate sufficient capital over the next decade. The efforts of the Bank's Economic Development Division to provide commercial loans to small businesses are limited frequently by the lack of initial investment capital in a business. An active CDC would provide a partial solution. Please let me know of your progress in this project.

We represent more than 50 Hebrew Day Schools with a total student population numbering in the thousands. Among our activites is the function of representing these schools in terms of governmental programs. As such, we are aware of the economic levels of the student body of each particular institution. Most of the schools we represent are located in the Boro Park area of Brooklyn. All of these schools, without exception, have parent bodies that predominantly fall in the poverty guideline levels of the United States Department of Agriculture. We are.therefore,well aware of the needs of this community. It is our feeling that it would be of tremendous benefit if a Com munity Development Corporation were established to help foster business growth and the resultant job opportunities for the area. We are well acquainted with B1 nai Tbrah's record of achievement in community service. It is our strong conviction that your organ ization would be most ideally suited to establish the appropriate corporation. Your contacts andexperience in the community and in business and in government provide for the ideal background to run an effective program. Please do give this matter earnest consideration. We stand ready to assist in any way we can.

' ' Accomplishments After ten years as a principal in a successful food manufacturing business, I decided to make con~unity activities a full-time occupation by offering ~y business talents to the anti-poverty groups. in a neglected neighborhood. Within a year I \·las able to establish a .citywide repu tation for the \·iilliamsburg Community Corporation, then one of the lesser-known poverty-area groups which are elected annually by residents. I, and its new executive director, concentrated on economic-development and man pO'I.>~er-training programs, because they offered the greatest chance for self-sufficiency. T\V'o months after joining the corporation, I helped lure a manufacturing company back into Ne\v York City from the suburbs--one of the very fe\>~ examples--~vi th a four tier mortgage for $1,200,000 placed \vith tt·lo state ag;ncies, one federal agency, and an institutional lender. '.i'his .. feat \'las reported in every New York newspaper and on every television station. · Then I helped a local electrical contracting firm obtain a $1.8 million contract from the Transit Authority, t:t:tpling its local hiring. l helped keep one of Ne\·T . York's largest employers from relocating out of Hilliams burg and the city. I helped ICBO (Inter-racial Council . of Business Opportunities} finance a minority-owned pipe manufacturer for half a million dollars.. I initiateci the. first .HESBIC (Hinority Enterprise.Small Business Invest- ment Comapny) in Hilliamsburg. · In all so far, I formulated and helped finance more ~~an $7 million dolla~s of projects for this area, creating 2,271 jobs, witi1 2,500 more still in process. Tbese jobs \·Jere filled by the black, Hispanic, Chassidic arid wi.1ice other-ethnic residents of North .Brooklyn. I also helped develop or expand fifteen minori ty-o"med businesses, and established a special citywide business loan program among fiva banks. I helped· establish t\-:elve training projects \-lith private companies totaling $2.1 million for.700 jobs in the area. And I helped guide the expansion of a 24-hour medical emergency center in ~>Iilliam.s bm::g. ~'lilliamsburg Community Corporation became far11ous, at least among the 22 other poverty areas, for its sophisticated economic structure. \'lashington and university-based developers made it an essential stop on a i'iew York tour of economic-devalop~ent projects. 'l'he tt.·to outstanding projects on this tour, ;.·;hich I helped initiate and execute, '\·Tere that of a "vertical industrial park" and a training program to staff an entire municipal hospital ..
