South Bend Redevelopment Commission Commissioners' Regular Meeting and Public Hearing June 2, 1978 7. PROGRESS REPORTS, Continued that the idea of having people living downtown is a good idea and that within some kind of frame of reasonable numbers there ought to be some place for this. I would hope so, it would help support the other things that are important -in this. Ms. Derbeck: But if it is a rent subsidy, and it will be mostly people who do not have a whole lot of money to spend.. Mr. Wiggins: Well, you can obviously fill the apartments under a sub- sidized program a whole lot easier because.you are working with a la ger segment of the population. Ms. Derbeck: I want to ask one more question—yesterday Terry Miller ga a a_speech to the architects' association, talking about architectural selections for Century Mall and some other things and mentioned that there is a lot of talk going around in the city offices about doing so e kind of promenade thing from Century Center out West Washington, wa3 out ... doing something there to link the river and downtown with We t Washington. Have you heard..or are you involved in this? Mr. Wiggins: I'm not. Mr. Brownell: I don't know anything about it. Mr. Wiggins: I certainly do feel that the improvement of the central bu iness district will have an enhancing.effect on all the surrounding arE.a. But there is no tie -in that I know of, it might be part of Terry's hopes and dreams.. Chair: (to Ms. Derbeck) but you don't believe us, honestly Jeanne I haven't heard a thing about it. 8.
