South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -October 20, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />E. Airport Economic Development Area <br />continue ... <br />professor of Economics at Indiana <br />University. I support the initiative from <br />Charlotte Pfeifer and the residents from the <br />LaSalle Square area. It's exactly what a <br />number of us had proposed at an earlier <br />Redevelopment Commission, that, if the <br />Commission were going to incorporate <br />Portage Prairie into the Airport Economic <br />Development Area, then at the same time it <br />should also look at incorporating the LaSalle <br />Square into the same district. So, I think it's <br />a very positive development. We support it. <br />The organization I'm working with, <br />Community Forum for Economic <br />Development, sees as a key priority the <br />economic development of the inner city areas <br />and the downtown. We need to pay special <br />attention to that to make sure that everyone <br />benefits in the economic development of our <br />city. <br />MR. KING: I want to thank everyone here <br />today, and the larger group that attended our <br />earlier meeting. Often the Redevelopment <br />Commission, and the Common Council too, <br />do a lot of work and try real hard on things <br />and you wonder if anyone cares. So, it's a <br />joyful event when we have the public show <br />up and take an active interest in the things <br />that we're doing and encouraging us to do <br />things that will, in fact, better the <br />community. Thanks to all who are here <br />today and to your co lle ague s who were here <br />before. <br />24 <br />
