South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meet ng - December 7, 1979 <br />6. NEW BUS <br />Mr. Elli$on continues... <br />In fact, GSA is currently reviewing a site option agree- <br />ment for that site right now. I think Tom Brademas' efforts <br />are too little and too late. We should not turn down an <br />economic opportunity of a new federal building containing <br />additional marketable office space in an effort to save the <br />Odd ellows Building. The fate of the Odd Fellows Building <br />and he new GSA Building are separate and distinct issues. <br />We s ould keep them that way. <br />7. PROGRESSIREPORTS <br />Mr. Ellison: <br />Mr. Chairman, and members of the Commission, <br />DISCUSSION CON - <br />the Redevelopment <br />Department owns 130 remaining parcels of <br />CERNING THE <br />land in <br />Ind. R -57, of which 30 parcels are being disposed <br />DISPOSAL OF RE- <br />of on an <br />installment type basis. The remaining 100 parcels <br />MAINING PARCELS IN <br />have not <br />generated much buyer interest. This lack of interest <br />IND. R -57 AREA <br />apparently <br />results from the fact that most remaining land is <br />much land. <br />Given the lengthy period during which this land <br />has been <br />available, the department finds good cause in <br />believing <br />that this land inventory could remain in public <br />ownership <br />indefinitely. Since public ownership of the land <br />produces <br />no tax income for the City, and since departmental <br />interest <br />dictate that it be relieved of the burden of managing <br />and disposing <br />of this land as soon as possible, the department <br />intends <br />to request HUD concurrence to dispose of remaining <br />parcels <br />for $1.00 per parcel. The department is confident <br />that HUD <br />will concur in this disposition plan. <br />Mr. Ellison: <br />I'd like to present to the Commission a collage <br />PRESENTATION TO <br />of newspaper <br />articles related to the "Hole" groundbreaking. <br />COMMISSION OF A <br />The coll <br />ge was done by Bill Screes, a local insurance <br />PICTURE FROM <br />man, and <br />given to the department. We had it framed and <br />MR. BILL SCREES <br />would lie <br />to show it to the Commission today. <br />Mr. Nimt <br />: On behalf of the Commission I'd like to <br />publicly <br />thank Mr. Screes for this fine picture' <br />8.
