• Revitalize the Indiana Avenue neighborhood business strip through an <br />appropriate mix of neighborhood and community oriented enterprises; <br />and improve the physical appearance of Indiana Avenue. <br />• Assist the private sector in completing the adaptive re -use of the former <br />Oliver School with an appropriate re -use that fits within the <br />neighborhood context. <br />• Improve the appearance and physical condition of State Road 23 <br />(Prairie Avenue) through the neighborhood. <br />• Preserve and improve the residential neighborhoods east and west of <br />Prairie Avenue. <br />VI. SEVEN YEAR ACTION PLAN <br />A. INTRODUCTION <br />This section will outline the proposed budget, schedule and list of activities to <br />be undertaken in the first six years of this plan. The first six years will focus on the <br />role and resources of the Redevelopment Commission. After six years (1993 -1998) of <br />activities, the Redevelopment Commission will phase down its activities and other <br />public agencies and private not - for - profit organizations will take the leadership role. <br />This is not to suggest that during the 1993 -1998 period that Redevelopment will be <br />acting alone. The neighborhood organizations, business associations and a host of <br />not - for - profit development organizations must be included from the start of the <br />project. What it does suggest is that the strategy and concomitant action plans will be <br />entering another phase. The first phase (1993 -1998) will be focused on several large <br />scale projects. Smaller scale, door to door activities, projects and programs must be <br />developed, funded and implemented as a result of the sub -area planning by <br />neighborhood committees. These types of activities, so crucial to the long term <br />success of the revitalization strategy, are what neighborhood and business <br />organizations and community development corporations do best. Redevelopment and <br />revitalization efforts must go forward together; however, the emphasis will shift from <br />redevelopment to revitalization efforts toward the later years. <br />B. FUNDING PLAN <br />This funding plan should serve as a guide and not a blueprint. Included in the <br />L-V proposed funding plan is a list of funding sources, amounts, expenditure patterns and <br />schedules. Inner city redevelopment and revitalization efforts are inherently time <br />consuming, complex and subject to shifting priorities within the neighborhood and at <br />-37- <br />5/21/93 <br />ar <br />
