"When the Old Pueblo's Urban Renewal Office was first established, interviews were conducted with residents of the area to be demolished. Preliminary work on relocation problems was mapped out. Thereafter, a marketability study and reuse appraisal of the neighborhood were completed. An eighty-two-member citizen's advisory redevelopment committee, which had been appointed by the mayor, held its first meeting in October, 1969. At this time subcommittees were formed to deal with planning, financing, relocation, legislation and public information. In April, 1971, the city's advisory committee adopted the subcommittee's report and recommendations for planning for the Old Pueblo District. The plan included a community center with a music hall, theatre, and concert arena. Later stages of the plan called for an office plaza, condominiums, and a Mexican style village with restaurants and shops that would be a tourist attraction. Upon approval by the mayor and council, the financing of the plan was presented to the voters of Tucson who approved it by an overwhelming majority."
