South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -February 5, 2010 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />C. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(2) Status report from Project Impact and <br />request for 2010 funding. <br />Mr. Summers thanked the Redevelopment <br />Commissioners for their support of Project <br />Impact. Without the Commission's support, <br />at least forty of the people they trained would <br />have gone back to jail. There would have <br />been at least two more deaths in the <br />community, and multiple acts of violence <br />that he knows of for sure. Dozens of families <br />have been strengthened as a result of the <br />Commission's decision to fund the program <br />in 2009. Eighty-two people were trained; <br />forty-nine found employment; and a <br />community was invigorated with hope. <br />Mr. Summers noted that Project Impact <br />embarked on its mission when the economy <br />was really tanking. That made it even more <br />unlikely that companies could afford to hire <br />Project Impact's clients. However, they have <br />used this year to develop an effective <br />network. <br />Steve Hartz, business owner and owner of <br />the Apprentice Academy, has promised to <br />personally facilitate meetings with other <br />business owners in 2010. Kathleen <br />Randolph, CEO of Economic Growth for <br />Regions II and III of WorkOne, has <br />committed to work closely with Project <br />Impact because the efforts complement one <br />another. Probation officers support Project <br />Impact. Bridges Out of Poverty, Memorial <br />Hospital, St. Joseph Regional Medical <br />Center, Urban Gardens and others partner <br />with Project Impact to pursue federal <br />STATUS REPORT FROM PROJECT IMPACT AND <br />REQUEST FOR 2010 FUNDING <br />18 <br />
