Given their severely dilapidated condition, relocating them seems unfeasible. We would like Habitat for Humanity to receive any materials that can be safely preserved. If the applicant is agreeable, we request that someone from Habitat for Humanity visit the properties with IntraCorp before demolition begins, so they can identify any items that can be salvaged and donated to Habitat. Sincerely, Greg Smith, President, Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association CC: Kalan.Contreras@austintexas.gov, Kim.McKnight@austintexas.gov, Melissa.Beeler@austintexas.gov, Zo.Qadri@austintexas.gov preservation@austintexas.gov, Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association, P.
