and Redevelopment Plan, and, on April 18, 2018, it adopted a resolution
memorializing such findings and recommending adoption of the Locust-Roosevelt
Redevelopment Plan; and

and finds that the Locust-Roosevelt Redevelopment Plan will serve
the best interests of the Borough and now desires to adopt same.

with the Borough Clerk and which is incorporated herein by reference,
is hereby approved and adopted.
