I have been watching things develop on the museum in this forum, now I think it is time to express my opinon. I&#039;m sorry in advance if I offend anyone these are just my thoughts.
   When I voted in favor of going forward with a museum I thought old plant site was only one being considered. I didn&#039;t realize there was another site in South Bend that we were looking at. This doesn&#039;t seem like a good idea.
   First of all I don&#039;t think we can afford to buy residential property to demolish it, I think funding would be harder to come up with in this plan. I&#039;m not familiar with the area, but I&#039;m sure it&#039;s not slumtown.
   Then you have the problem maybe not everyone wants to sell. This could create alot of ill feelings toward our organization,which I&#039;m sure you would not want. 
    From what I have read you don&#039;t have full support of  City Council on this plan. We need the help and support of everyone to make this work.
    I think HPOCA should put all efforts into making this work at the old plant site.
    If I am not correct in anything that I have said here please let me know, I&#039;m not to proud to admit being wrong.
