South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - May 21, 1993 <br />6. ' NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />MR. MORRISON: I'm Dick Morrison from <br />Hawkins Court on the southeast side. Is there <br />a precedent for tying closely into your <br />redevelopment effort, the key delivery <br />educational system of the community. Key <br />institutions. Your plan, as I read it, thinks <br />that the educational delivery system in that <br />area is critical to the efforts that you are <br />going to put forth there. I'm just wondering <br />if there is a precedent where the educational <br />system has assisted in stabilizing and <br />revitalizing blighted or whatever we're going <br />to call the area. <br />MRS. KOLATA: I don't believe that we <br />have had such a thing tied to our other areas <br />at this point. One of the aspects of the plan <br />is talking about making land available for a <br />new campus for Indiana Vocational and <br />Technical College. The closest analogy I <br />have to that is that we see a need to do <br />something, revitalizing that area and for new <br />development to be there, it seems to be a <br />good combination —we have land available <br />that needs to be redeveloped and they have a <br />need for a campus in a good central location <br />in a visible location. It seems to be a good <br />compliment that a semi -public or public <br />institution invest and help support our <br />activities in that area. In that respect we've <br />probably done something similar to that over <br />the years. But it wasn't necessarily an <br />educational institution. <br />MR. HUNT: I think it's important that we <br />continue to remember that we are going out <br />-32- <br />
