Based <br />on its investigatory action, studies and surveys, the Commission has determined that it is <br />necessary to designate the LaSalle Hotel as an Economic Development Target Area <br />which will make the LaSalle Hotel a more attractive investment and facilitate the <br />development and occupancy of the LaSalle Hotel. <br />I will present this Ordinance to the Common Council. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely <br />737 <br />Brock Zeeb <br />Filled In C41erk's OfflcL <br />T-�31 0114 <br />JORP VOORl3E <br />C1 CLFRK, SOUTH SEND, IN <br />PLANNING NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC RESOURCES <br />JITIN KAIN PAMELA C.
