South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -August 4, 2006 <br />4. COMMUNICATIONS <br />(1) Communication from Council Member <br />Charlotte Pfeifer to Commissioner Karl King. <br />Mr. Inks read the letter from Council Member <br />Pfeifer into the record. <br />July 21, 2006 <br />1VIr. Karl King <br />Chairperson <br />South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Dear Karl: <br />This letter is to show my support for extending the <br />TIF boundaries of Blackthorn to include the <br />LaSalle Square area. <br />On Monday July 24, 2006 the Library Board will <br />be voting on a proposal to expand the LaSalle <br />branch libNary. The neighboNS and the entiNe <br />South Bend community came togetheN to fight the <br />closing of that branch. Due to these efforts the <br />branch has been saved and ciNCUlation and usage <br />is up. <br />1 believe expanding the boundaries to include the <br />LaSalle Square would give the City a tool to entice <br />private development in this area. <br />The "Inner City Development Task Force " is a <br />group of citizens who are very concerned about the <br />lack of development in the city, both housing and <br />business. I am a member of this task force which <br />was formed to support the administration in this <br />very challenging effort. <br />3 <br />
