Based <br />on its investigatory action, studies and surveys, the Commission has determined that it is <br />necessary to designate the northwest comer of Hill and Colfax, in the City of South Bend <br />as an Economic Development Target Area which will make this property a more <br />attractive investment and facilitate the development and occupancy of this comer, which <br />is currently a gravel lot. <br />I will present this Ordinance to the Common Council. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerel <br />B Zeeb <br />3 °i:ed in Clerk's <br />r' o //i11Q <br />i C�' 1( �LF� $s;,.�•ViiT'�e.l�,,.�w1�D,eiS <br />PLANNING NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ECONOMIC RESOURCES <br />Jaw ]CAIN PAMELA C.
