SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SPECI L MEETING 7 "The Southeast Side Project Committee supports this Program and looks forward to it." 5. Mr. Lennon said the last person who has requested the opportunity to speak and ten it is certainly open for the entire public, is Mrs. Louvenia Cain, the C airman of the Model Neighborhood Planning Agency: uvenia Cain: "Gentlemen: "As the two have said, we have looked forward to the day when we could make some physical changes in our neighborhood. I have friends on the Southeast Side and we have been working closely with them. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Lennon, the over- all Director of the picture, where he has worked with us in the Model Cities, and our Director, Mr. Hughes, discussed this and he is eager to see some changes. We know we are on the last phase of our work and we know that we are looking forward to give a release to the people who are present because their homes are in condition where rehabilitation would not help, we would like clearance, and we know that if you would make a trip out there you would be in accord with us. We are asking that you look favorable on the recommendation that has been brought here and Model Cities are with you 100 %. It is the sentiment of the people in Model Cities to see the changes made and it is the sentiment of the Model Cities Program to review and extend city -wide, so that we can help our brothers and sisters on the Southeast Side. "Thank you very much." President Helmen asked if there are any others in the audience who wish to speak. There being none, the Chair said: "It seems to me that the repre- sentatives almost unanimously are in favor of it." President Helmen had Mr. Lennon read the Resolution, as this concluded the Public Hearing portion of the meeting. Mr. Lennon read Resolution No. 447, confirming Declaratory Resolution in regards to the Neighborhood Development Program, Project Indiana A -10, in its entirety.
