South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting— December 19, 2003 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. Public Hearings <br />(3) continued... <br />Two (2) years ago, the South Bend Heritage <br />Corporation was employed to be the NNRO <br />management agent. Remarkable progress <br />has occurred during that period of time. <br />There are seven (7) people serving on the <br />NNRO Board of Directors representing the <br />not - for - profits, together with seven (7) <br />people from the neighborhood itself. This <br />has truly been a cooperative project between <br />the neighbors, the institutions and the City <br />of South Bend. <br />Mr. Roberts thanked Ms. Jennifer Hughes <br />for the outstanding work done on behalf of <br />the northeast neighborhood and also thanked <br />Mayor Luecke and the City for continued <br />support. The NNRO unanimously concurs <br />with the Northeast Neighborhood Council <br />and supports the confirmation of the <br />proposed Development Plan and urged the <br />Commission for approval of Resolution <br />No. 2021. <br />Mr. Wayne Curry, Jr., Northeast <br />Neighborhood Council member, commented <br />that a lot of work and effort has been put <br />forth to ensure diverse housing in the area, <br />including low, median and high -end <br />housing, making relocation to the area <br />possible regardless of affordability. The <br />structure of the Plan is well thought out and <br />residents that may be affected by future <br />property acquisitions have been dealt with <br />fairly and are favorable to possible <br />relocation. <br />34 <br />
