They <br />'er, "to keep the boundaries as previously drawn" (referring to the <br />scribed in Jon Hunt's September 11, 1987 memorandum tc the Commission). <br />Committee indicated that they had a history of working in the <br />t Area upon which the WWCRP and the City had agreed. Any change in the <br />this time could jeopardize the project in that the boundaries they had <br />ere the result of many months of work and discussions with the residents <br />opment Area. <br />• Piasecki suggested tc add to the Development Area is nearly all <br />• Commercial buildings are primarily on the north side of Lincolnway <br />of the homes in this area appear to need some amount of repair to their <br />;t twelve years, approximately $400,000 of Community Development Block <br />has been spent on 100 homes within this area between LaPorte Avenue and <br />lest. Nearly all were loan_ programs designed to assist homecwnErs. The <br />.0 of Housing formerly adm'.nistered these programs. The Housing <br />Corporation now administers these programs. Businesses along Lincolnway <br />!cess to the Neighborhood Business District Revolving Loan Program. Nine <br />.long Lincolnway have taken advantage of the program in the two years <br />Itiation. <br />Lking need appears to be the ccncentration of housing programs for both <br />:d and rental property within this area. The provision of public works <br />is the only benefit I see that could be derived from including this <br />fie Near West Side in the West Washington - Chapin Develompent Area. <br />
