South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -August 25, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />() continued... <br />in the inner city, the grassroots, and <br />financially challenged poor people, given the <br />proper tools, resources, guidance, training, <br />support, and compassion to create an <br />economic plan that will transform the <br />LaSalle area and any other neighborhood in <br />our city if we really choose to do it. It was <br />my plan to suggest that we also include the <br />LaSalle Square and every other part of our <br />city that's impoverished, along with this <br />proposal, this resolution. If we would just <br />include the LaSalle Square... but if we <br />weren't going to include this LaSalle <br />Square...but if we do, also a contingency to <br />pursue including other parts of it, and to do <br />that within the next ninety days. But, in <br />hearing these things, and especially what you <br />had to say, Shawn, I think it is wiser on my <br />part, as far as the Council, that we do <br />improve the TIF. But, it sounds like John <br />Phair doesn't want that TIF. He said, <br />"you're not using it forme anyway." I <br />understand, and I am not in opposition <br />toward it, so, that's my commentary. <br />WILLIAM HOJANACKI: I didn't actually <br />hear anybody who was really opposed to it. <br />Everything that I heard was in favor of <br />including the LaSalle Square Area and the <br />economic areas along Lincolnway West area <br />there as a part of it. I really do see that, and I <br />am totally sympathetic about this. This is the <br />area I grew up in when I was a kid. I' m very, <br />very sympathetic about doing something <br />about LaSalle Square, and very sympathetic <br />about doing something about the entire <br />53 <br />
