South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —July 2, 2004 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />(1) continued... <br />accumulation of land south of Kennedy <br />Park, north of Norfolk and Southern <br />Central Railroad track, east of the <br />existing Bosch facility and west of <br />Meade St. as part of the development of <br />the campus for the Bosch Braking <br />Corporation. The City of South Bend is <br />committed to the Bosch Corporation as a <br />very important employer and a <br />significant contributor to the city's <br />present economic well -being and future <br />growth. We will work with the <br />neighbors in the neighborhood described <br />in the paragraph above to the full extent <br />the law allows. <br />Sincerely, <br />Stephen J. Luecke <br />Mayor <br />Ms. Greene asked Ms. Hughes to state <br />the reasons the amendment to the plan is <br />necessary. Ms. Hughes noted that much <br />of the area described above could be <br />considered blighted. There are vacant <br />parcels of land, boarded up houses, code <br />violations on a few properties. That <br />being said, there are also some long -time <br />property owners who have seen their <br />neighborhood go downhill and who have <br />concerns about where they currently live. <br />Some might wish to stay, some might <br />wish to leave the neighborhood. We <br />hope to provide relocation services that <br />satisfy everyone. <br />C <br />
