<br />ment"), pursuant to the Redevelopment of Cities and Towns Act of 1953, as amended
<br />(Indiana Code 18 -7 -7) (the "Act "), has conducted surveys and investigations and
<br />has thoroughly studied the area in the City of South Bend, County of St. Joseph,
<br />State of Indiana, and designated the area as the "Monroe - Sample Development Area"
<br />(the "Area "), which Area is more particularly described by a line drawn as
<br />follows:
<br />A parcel of land being a part of the city of South Bend,
<br />Portage Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana and being
<br />more particularly described as follows, viz:
<br />Beginning at the intersection of the centerlines of Michigan
<br />Street and Monroe Street in said City; thence East, along
<br />said Monroe Street centerline, to the centerline of Lincoln -
<br />way East; thence Southeasterly along said centerline to its

<br />February 2, 1981, designating the Area and approving the Development Plan; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Area Plan Commission of St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is
<br />the duly- designated and acting official planning body for the City of South Bend,
<br />has issued its written order approving said Declaratory Resolution and the De-
<br />velopment Plan, and has certified that said Development Plan conforms to the
<br />master plan of development for the City of South Bend; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Common Council is cognizant of the conditions that are imposed
<br />under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, providing that no per-
<br />son shall, on the grounds of race, age, sex, color, religion, or national origin,

<br />jects; and
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of South
<br />Bend:
<br />1. That it is hereby found and determined that the Area is a blighted area
<br />and qualifies as an eligible project area under the Act.
