South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -July 20, 2007 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearings <br />() continued... <br />Phil Byrd: South Bend Heritage Foundation. <br />As some of you know, it took about three <br />years through the state legislature to get <br />legislation that would enable us to use <br />residential properties in the form of tax <br />incremental financing. Although this <br />housing program covers an area greater than <br />the Triangle, it is extremely important to the <br />Triangle because we're looking to do a <br />significant number of infrastructure <br />improvements there. This will provide some <br />of the funding for those improvements. <br />Linda Wolfson: Community Forum on <br />Economic Development. On Monday of this <br />past week we testified in favor of the Eddy <br />Street Commons project, primarily because it <br />might provide the resources for the <br />revitalization of the northeast area. So, of <br />course, we would support this resolution as <br />well. <br />Council Member Timothy Rouse: This has <br />been a great opportunity. I was with Phil <br />Byrd as we got the residential TIF approved. <br />It was a lot of work and we appreciate all of <br />you who participated in that. This is where <br />the rubber hits the road. If it doesn't get <br />approved here, that hard work is really in <br />vain. I do support it. Thank you. <br />Jean Hanrahan. Northeast Neighborhood <br />Council. I moved onto the northeast side in <br />March 2006, into an NNRO rehabbed home. <br />In the sixteen months that I have lived on that <br />block it has already revitalized. I am very <br />16 <br />
