South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -November 2, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />B.

He stated, <br />however, that the sales have been below <br />$600,000, but it's not unreasonable to expect <br />that they could go over that. <br />Mr. Peczkowski commented, "Especially if <br />we give them a break on the rent." <br />Mr. Peczkowski: Being that they are able to <br />stay in that same location instead of moving <br />to a location where they could afford to pay <br />the rent and the CAM fees, certainly would <br />affect....
