South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />rescheduled Regular Meeting - January 4, 1995 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />MRS. xoLATA: Yes. we would send a <br />purchase offer and then negotiate the price <br />with you. Obviously, if you have nothing <br />on the land, you're not eligible for <br />relocation. But we would negotiate the <br />purchase price. <br />(That someone): That's what I wanted to <br />know. <br />MR. NABAA: The only thing I'm saying: <br />you've got people who have worked hard <br />for a lot of those homes along there. I <br />travel in and around that area, too. Few <br />homes that you do have, some of them are <br />landlord- owned. And then some of the <br />people are just poor —they don't have the <br />means to refurbish the houses. Most homes <br />over a given period of time, if they are kept <br />up, last a hundred two hundred <br />P� years, <br />years. The problem is, you're coming in <br />and completely demolish an area, a <br />residential area, destabilize the community, <br />then you're going to set... But the <br />Commission doesn't live in the area. <br />They're not part of the area. The park, the <br />ideas and everything, they don't fit. That's <br />what I'm saying. Not unless you're going <br />to redevelop an entirely new situation for <br />new people coming in that area. And the <br />people who live in the area are going to be <br />destabilized. That's the only question I <br />have. Because I moved into the area and, <br />yes, there are vacant homes. Why not take <br />the lots and build homes on them? <br />APk <br />-20- <br />
