South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -July 20, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearings <br />continue ... <br />Square area into the Airport TIF district. The <br />LaSalle Square area is directly adjacent to the <br />current Airport TIF boundary and is in need <br />of revitalization. <br />We also support adding the Marycrest/ <br />Hurwich area and the Sample-Ewing <br />Redevelopment Area to the Airport TIF <br />district. Completing the preparation of these <br />areas for future economic development could <br />have an even greater impact on the <br />revitalization of South Bend. <br />South Bend's City Plan discusses the <br />necessity, when planning economic <br />development, "for awareness of the <br />community's assets and liabilities in order to <br />build on the positives and reduce perceived <br />weaknesses." <br />South Bend's West Side is an historic and <br />current asset. Use of available economic <br />development resources will strengthen our <br />ability to make necessary improvements and <br />build on this asset for the benefit of our <br />community, the entire city, and all of St. <br />Joseph County. We petition you to adopt <br />today's resolution and look forward to our <br />mutual efforts to revitalize our west side <br />neighborhoods. <br />PASTOR MILLER: Faith Apostolic <br />Ministries. We are the property owners of <br />the LaSalle Square. We have with us today <br />Mr. John Wilhite, president of the Board of <br />Real Estate, Indiana University Bloomington. <br />9 <br />
