South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />scheduled Regular Meeting - January 4, 1995 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />MRS. KOLATA: The determination that was <br />made when this was originally declared a <br />redevelopment area was to draw the <br />Southeast Neighborhood into three sections. <br />The first section stops at the alley between <br />Pennsylvania and Broadway. That is the <br />area that is designated for redevelopment, <br />because that is the area where most of the <br />vacant lots were, that's where the highest <br />percentage of deteriorated homes were, and <br />that was the area that was determined to be <br />cleared and made available to start anew. <br />From the blue line (on the map) south to <br />Dubail is the area that we're talking about <br />revitalization. There are strong homes <br />there, strong streets, enough houses on the <br />IL streets. The idea is to strengthen that part <br />of the neighborhood and not have it <br />deteriorate the way the area to the north <br />deteriorated. The third portion of the <br />Southeast Neighborhood is between Dubail <br />and Ewing. Residentially, that is the <br />strongest part of the neighborhood. We <br />intend to make some housing programs <br />available there. <br />We have been working with the <br />neighborhood organization. Any of you <br />who want to be involved on the planning <br />committees, I know you've had the <br />opportunity to join. There are a series of <br />committees and Southeast Quality of Life <br />would love to have you be there and have <br />your input. The idea of having the park in <br />this general area is because we are <br />purchasing and eliminating Dean Johnson <br />LeL-21- <br />
