MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Common Council, City of South Bend From: Henry Sucher, Executive Director South Bend Redevelopment Commission Date: July 7, 1960 Re: General Neighborhood Renewal Plan - Application for Linden School Area The resolution submitted for your approval authorizes the Redevelopment Department to request a federal advance for planning funds. This money will be used to make a comprehensive study of the Linden School Area to determine the Renewal treatment most suitable for various parts of the area. The federal funds used will be considered part of the costs of the first actual project undertaken within the Linden School area, to be borne two - thirds by the federal government, one -third by the City. The advantage of following this "General Neighborhood Renewal Plan" procedure lies in the maximum credit the City can thereby receive for the funds spent by the School City in building a new school. The City does commit itself to undertake all necessary measures to eliminate blight from the entire area over a ten year period. The first project will be a clearance area of approximately forty acres, to be followed by rehabilitation and code enforceme$t through the remaining 120 acres of the area.
