South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -October 20, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />E. Airport Economic Development Area <br />continue ... <br />Ms. Greene noted that there will be no final <br />action taken today. The Commission will <br />simply accept the information presented. <br />Should the Commission decide to expand the <br />development area or create a new <br />redevelopment area, it would have a series of <br />public hearings on the project. <br />COUNCIL MEMBER PFEIFER: <br />Representing the 2nd District on the South <br />Bend Common Council. It really is an honor <br />and pleasure to be here this morning. I really <br />thank both Nick and Shawn, and especially <br />Karl King and Marcia for meeting with us <br />and following up on our request. This is <br />something that isn't any kind of "spur of the <br />moment" or isn't...again, I have to be <br />conscious of the things that are written and <br />said. I want you to know that this is not <br />anything that I'm ramming down anyone's <br />throat. It really is an opportunity for the <br />whole city to take a look at economic <br />development in the inner city. These <br />discussions have gone on for years, quite <br />frankly. The Council is looking for any <br />opportunity it can find to spur economic <br />development in the inner city, and, at the <br />same time, continuing to support the <br />development on the edge of the city. And, of <br />course, we support development in the <br />county and in Mishawaka. We know that <br />any time something new comes into our <br />community, we all benefit. I wanted to make <br />that really clear. <br />20 <br />
