South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Special Meeting –August 27, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />A. Public Hearing <br /> <br />(1) continued… <br /> <br />Group has been doing in this area. They <br />have been very up front in their dealings with <br />us.

We include people <br />from throughout the county. We’re in favor <br />of this as a step in the way to transforming <br />that area and bringing it back to the potential <br />we believe it has. It’s not unique in the city, <br />or in the Midwest, or in the nation in the <br />challenges that it faces. One of the things <br />that is different about it, to some degree, is <br />the tremendous effort that’s been put in by <br />members of that neighborhood, by members <br />of that general area, first to save the public <br />library the first time, which is what caught <br />the attention of the Community Forum, then <br />in the participation and public process that <br />developed the redevelopment plan, and now <br />in support for the urban garden market which <br />is a fun and successful place.
