South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –February 5, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(2) continued… <br /> <br />least once a month to see how things are <br />going. That continuous connection proves <br />that Project Impact really does care. They <br />provide encouragement. <br /> <br />Ms. King asked about the $240,000 <br />commitment from WorkOne in the budget. <br />She wanted to know if that is a firm <br />commitment, is the number based on the <br />anticipated number of clients they would <br />assist. Mr. Summers responded that <br />WorkOne has committed to work with <br />Project Impact. That $240,000 is based on a <br />conservative number they expect WorkOne <br />to provide training for. <br /> <br />Ms. King asked if the $350,000 Project <br />Impact is requesting from the Commission is <br />for administration costs (personnel). Mr. <br />Summers responded that is correct. <br /> <br />Mr. Varner asked how Project Impact <br />anticipates increasing its funding from <br />sources other than the Urban Enterprise <br />training funds, particularly as they decrease. <br />Mr. Summers responded that a critical piece <br />was creating the partnership with WorkOne. <br />There needs to be economic development <br />growth in the community---jobs available. <br />Project Impact will receive income from its <br />own job creation (construction, making <br />apparel). They have begun to sell <br />merchandise on their Web site. The <br />partnerships they are creating should help <br />them better compete for federal funds. <br /> <br /> 21 <br /> <br />
