Mr. Hunt. noted that 1986 was a good year for PROGRESS REPORTS the CormLission, the Department, and the community. We saw the start of several substan ial projects on the East Bank, including the first phase of the renovation of the old Robertson's warehouse and the construction of the Sports Medicine Center. We also saw the start and completion of two major office buildings in the downtown, One Michiana Square and Teachers Credit Union, as well as the completion of the first phase of the reorening of Michigan Street. The Skywalk between Century Center and the Marriott will soon be finished, and will be a real boost to the corqetitiveness of Century Center as a regional conference and convention center. The Mo oe Park light industrial area was also complet d. We face some challenges in 1987: the Tax Reform Act affected real estate taxes and may cause s me down -time until people adjust to it, but we expect to be able to locate a mid -siz d office project in the downtown, and, in conjunction with Center City Associates, are agrE,ssively recruiting some small retail businesses. The former Robertson's and J.C. Penney buildings pose a problem, but they are challen es we think we can meet.
