South Bend edevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ing - September 25, 1987 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS (Cont.) <br />Mr. Nintz publicly congratulated Mr. <br />Pitts, . Matthews, Ms. Robinson, and <br />Mr. Poc'us for the excellent products <br />produced and public presentations in <br />connection with the Michigan Street <br />Corridor Plan and the Studebaker Corridor <br />Plan. He noted that they have generated <br />a strong wave of optimism in the <br />community. He has received may positive <br />comments about both since their release. <br />Mr. Hunt noted that in response to Mr. <br />Piaseck''s request at the September 11 <br />Commission meeting that the West <br />Washington - Chapin Revitalization <br />Project Inc. Planning Committee consider <br />extendi g the boundaries of the proposed <br />Redevelopment Area to include an area <br />between Lincolnway West and Laporte <br />Streets a memo to the Commissioners has <br />been prepared by Mr. Norris to apprise <br />the Comnission of WWCRP's decision. <br />Mr. Norris summarized the memo, a copy of <br />which is attached to these minutes. The <br />WWCRP Planning Committee is aware of the <br />problems in the area in question, but <br />they do not feel that there is sufficient <br />time to consider changing the boundaries <br />of the Redevelopment Area without <br />jeopardizing the entire project. They <br />did not rule out extending the boundaries <br />at some time in the future. Mr. Norris <br />noted that approximately $400,000 of <br />Community Development Block Grant money <br />has beem spent on 100 homes in that area <br />over the last twelve years. Mr. Hunt <br />stated that there is no question there is <br />a need in the area. But the <br />Redevelopment Commission's ability to <br />acquire land and assemble it for <br />development is not what the area needs. <br />He noted that the Housing Development <br />Corporation could better address those <br />needs with a neighborhood revitalization <br />effort. The Redevelopment Commission <br />cannot spend money to rehabilitate a <br />house unless they own the house. <br />-16- <br />
