White Dear Council Members: <br />Chairperson, Committee <br />of the Whole We are pleased to sponsor the attached resolution for your review, discussion and <br />Tim Scott adoption. <br />First District <br />As you are all well aware, Lincoln Way West is the main entrance to the downtown <br />Henry Davis, Jr. from the west. Unfortunately, despite many efforts being made, it is today a highway <br />Second District corridor filled with far too many vacant and abandoned homes as well as vacant store <br />Valerie Schey fronts. <br />Third District Our resolution is aimed at jump - starting discussions with the Community & Economic <br />Fred Ferlic Development staff and their new director, as well as with the South Bend <br />Fourth District Redevelopment Commission. Such discussions would focus on whether a significant <br />portion of Lincoln Way West should be added to the Airport Economic Development <br />David Varner Area (AEDA). The last time the Common Council worked to expand this area <br />Fifth District culminated in an expansion in 2007. <br />Oliver J.
