Since much of the work on the district has been started, it was felt it would move at its own pace regardless of the CD application, and that CD could be viewed as a source of funds for the district, especially in getting information to each household in the district.

He was adamantly opposed to any such implication, and he stated that Mayor Nemeth had already agreed to the St. Joseph St. Historic District.
