Based on its investigatory <br />action, studies and surveys, the Commission has determined that it is necessary to designate <br />the northwest comer of Niles Avenue and Jefferson Blvd., in the City of South Bend as an <br />Economic Development Target Area which will make this property a more attractive <br />investment and facilitate the development and occupancy of this corner, which is currently <br />a parking lot. <br />I will present this Ordinance to the Common Council. <br />, office <br />Thank you 96 -; ' 'n <br />Y �F}i��Ss3d'eration. __ <br />PLANNING <br />JITIN KAIN <br />JUL -5 2014 <br />JOHN ds00iwE <br />I.FRK, SOU I H BEND, IN <br />NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT <br />PAMELA C.
