<br />s /Sean Coleman
<br />Member of the Common Council
<br />Ms. Pamela C. Meyer, Director, Planning & Neighborhood Development, Community & Economic
<br />Development, 4th floor First Bank Building, South Bend, Indiana, made the presentation for this bill.
<br />Ms. Meyer asked for the Council's favorable consideration of the expansion of the enterprise zone
<br />from three (3) square miles to four (4) square miles. This was allowed because of new state
<br />legislation that was adopted. It allows the City to add an area that is a mixture of residential,
<br />industrial and commercial uses and one that works with the strategic plan that the City has
<br />submitted to the State for the balance of the designation which will be through 2003. Ms. Meyers
<br />utilized and distributed a map which indicates that the boundaries are the railroad to Ardmore
<br />Trail, south on Goodland, East on Bertrand, north on Meade, East on Roger, north on Olive, East
<br />on Lincolnway West to Walnut and south on Walnut to the existing zone at Liston. Upon the
<br />Council's favorable consideration of this Resolution a proposal will be sent to the State Board and
<br />a hearing with the State Enterprise Zone Board would be conducted sometime between January and
<br />April of 2000.
