There had been discussion as to a Mission Statement, and Ms. Van Dyke and Mr. McCown were going to rewrite a Mission Statement for the Task Force. Many of the members of the Task Force noted that they believed there was still a need for the existence of the Task Force, at least until the Trammell-Crow project and Linear project were completed. At this point it seems that 1988 will be a significant year for Downtown Englewood as far as major events happening. • FORM 50 C. F. HOECKEL B. 8. & L. C O.
