South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 5, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(3) continued… <br /> <br />In addition to partnering with small <br />businesses, Project Impact has aggressively <br />tried to create businesses at which the clients <br />can work and that might generate income to <br />support Project Impact. Mr. Summers found <br />a small apparel manufacturer in Washington <br />D.C. that was about to set up operations in <br />Chicago. Mr. Summers convinced them to <br />come and try setting up their operation right <br />at Project Impact. They brought and set up <br />five industrial sewing machines at Project <br />Impact’s facility. Clients are now making <br />sports uniforms for Chicago public schools. <br />Plus, Project Impact has started to talk with <br />local schools about producing for them. <br />Youth Service Bureau has agreed to purchase <br />T-shirts for its upcoming dodge ball event the <br />end of March. <br /> <br />Mr. Summers believes they are being as <br />creative as anyone could be trying to create <br />opportunities for its clients. And after clients <br />are placed, doing a great job for an existing <br />employer, Project Impact is beating the <br />bushes trying to find the next, better job for <br />them. <br /> <br />Ms. King asked how long his list was of the <br />businesses in the AEDA he contacted. Mr. <br />Summers responded that they contacted over <br />one hundred with marketing materials, but <br />were only able to talk face to face with about <br />fifty. Mr. Summers added that he joined the <br />Rotary Club last year hoping to get more <br />opportunity to personally explain Project <br />Impact’s mission. It didn’t work as well as <br />he’d hoped. <br /> 41 <br /> <br />
