The membership heard various requests, including a 30 x 60 shelter for the American Legion, a Keystone Homes request for a four car garage--all of which the members approved.

Mr. Bischoff shared with the attendees, that at an earlier meeting this evening at 6:00 p.m., the members of the St. Leon Redevelopment Committee {Cliff Bischoff, Paul Alig, Dave Alig, Terry Boedeker, and Vernon Hensley}, were addressed by Jim West of the Dearborn County Economic Development Committee, and Brian Messmore, Dearborn County Administrator. Jim West and Brian Messmore informed the St. Leon Redevelopment Committee the following:

DEARBORN COUNTY IS GOING TO HIRE A CONSULTANT TO COME UP WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE I-74 CORRIDOR—FROM THE OHIO BORDER TO RIPLEY COUNTY.

Mr. Bischoff stated that St. Leon wants to be part of this new I-74 Comprehensive Plan, and asked if anyone on the Planning and Zoning Board wanted to attend the meetings. No one answered. Mr. Bischoff said he will attend, and will ask others –whoever will be available to attend with him.

When Mr. Bischoff was asked if these meetings were going to be open to the citizens—he said he did not know how the meetings were to be conducted, just that St. Leon wants to make sure they participate. Mr. Bischoff continued that he believes this has
something to do with industrial areas because of the Honda plant in Greensburg.

Mr. Bischoff also that the next meeting for the Steering Committee Meeting (St. Leon Comprehensive Plan) will be July 20th at 6:30 p.m. at the St. Leon firehouse.
