I appreciate <br />the support that the Redevelopment Commission <br />has provided for this project through the <br />appropriation of funds. I believe it is a positive <br />initiative that would be beneficial to Century <br />Center and to the downtown, freshening the <br />grounds and brining public art to a very visible <br />location. It would enhance the front entrance of <br />both the Center and the Museum of Art and <br />become a landmark for South Bend. <br /> <br />However, I also acknowledge that we have not <br />reached consensus on the plan. Furthermore, <br />there are many in the community who are <br />tightening their belts due to difficult economic <br />times – they wonder whether this is the right time <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
