These projects were developed and completed through Mayor Stephen J. Luecke's <br /> Commercial Corridor Initiative and were funded through County Option Income Tax (COIT) <br /> revenues allocated to the Portage Avenue Steering Committee, by the City of South Bend, as part <br /> of the Committee's annual funding request. <br /> "Overall, these Corridor Steering Committee projects help to reinforce Portage Avenue as <br /> a major thoroughfare connecting the Northwest to Downtown and make it a more vibrant <br /> location for consumers and companies to do business," said Mayor Luecke. The Steering <br /> Committee will continue to pursue additional projects which will contribute to these efforts and <br /> will continue to enhance the area. <br /> Per the 1999 Portage Avenue Commercial Corridor Revitalization Action Plan, the <br /> committee will focus on projects that address Portage Avenue streetscape, marketing, business <br /> development, and building fapade enhancement, and which are consistent with the City of South <br /> Bend's comprehensive plan, City Plan. <br /> - 30 - <br />
