South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -June 25, 2008 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />(1) continued... <br />qualitative research preceeds everything else. <br />Find out, go ask the people. Recently we had <br />a Community Economic Forum and I was in <br />a poverty break out session. In that poverty <br />break out session we kind of identified the <br />group that we needed to find out from, the <br />people, what were their barriers, their <br />barriers for a good job, for economic <br />development individually, which then of <br />course builds the community?

So, I <br />am thinking about this money, and I don't <br />know a lot about that, but I am hearing that <br />it's not transferable, which is interesting. <br />And, I asked the people what were their <br />biggest concerns.
