South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ting - March 20, 1981 <br />5. PUBLICIHEARING (continued) <br />are doing some work on it. We do an extensive amount of <br />grant writing, but again those funds are getting fewer and <br />fewer all the time, you certainly can't depend on them. <br />You just have to be out there and pull all the bucks where - <br />ever they are available. It is hard to predict what all <br />you ca use, we are usually using five or six financing <br />tools. <br />Mr. Nio tz recognized Mr. Lee McKnight for comments. <br />Mr. McKnight introduced himself as one of the principals <br />involy d in the Inter City Enterprise Corporation. Mr. <br />McKnight said that their President, Mr. Harry Nye, and <br />their Vice President, Mr. Silas West also are present <br />this morning. <br />Mr. McKnight said that they have sat and listened to the <br />plans f the Commission and staff as well as the responses <br />from the neighborhood residents of the area and also hear <br />this plan with mixed emotions. We have been located on <br />the corner of South and Columbia Streets, just one block <br />from the area that has been discussed, for the past ten <br />years. Vie have operated a small neighborhood grocery by <br />the name of Max's. Our letter to the Commissioners out- <br />lines our position in terms of what we are concerned about. <br />We fee that taking out approximately 75 structures will <br />destro our ability to continue as a for- profit business <br />in the area and for that reason requested that you con- <br />sider our property for acquisition. There has been some <br />discus ion among staff and Mr. Nimtz about the prospect <br />of the store relocating in the area. We would entertain <br />that consideration, but only at a time that it would be <br />economically sound from a business point of view in terms <br />of our staying in the area. We would like for you to <br />consider our letter that you have in front of you and <br />to con ider at this time Inter City Enterprise or Max's <br />Grocer for acquisition. <br />Mr. Ni# z recognized Mr. Silas West for comments. <br />Mr. West introduced himself and said that being in busi- <br />ness for the last ten years in the area has witnessed a <br />great decline in that area. We have chosen to stay in the <br />area mainly because we felt that a grocery - stores <br />definitely needed, but as statistics continue to tell me, <br />it is doubtful that the city believes that a grocery store <br />is needed in that area. Earlier Mrs. Kolata said that the <br />number of homes in the last ten years had declined in the <br />area atid she also talked about the number of homes that <br />were going to remain in the area, with no consideration to <br />the bu inesses that exist in that area., <br />19. <br />
