The city reorganized its tax - increment funding districts which <br />gave the city the opportunity to expand the Riverfront boundaries. <br />This Riverfront Development Project Area enables businesses within the boundaries of the area to <br />acquire three way liquor licenses at a substantially reduced cost. Exhibits A and B attached to the <br />ordinance contain the new map and legal description respectively of the expanded area. However, for <br />your convenience, copies of exhibits A & B attached to this letter show exactly what parcels have been <br />added to the original area. <br />To date, since the South Bend Common Council first passed the ordinance in June 2012 establishing the <br />Riverfront Development Project Area, it has been amended in December 2013 and led to the issuing of <br />sixteen licenses which thirteen are currently active and helped leverage economic development within <br />the downtown and East Bank areas. Expansion of the district is expected to attract the development of <br />more dining and cultural opportunities to South Bend. <br />S or v sideration, <br />Bnan Pawlo <br />Acting Executive Director of Community Investment <br />Enclosure (1) <br />PLANNING <br />NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT <br />BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT <br />ADMINISTRATION &t FINANCE <br />ECONOMIC RESOURCES <br />TIM CORCORAN <br />PAMELA C.
