South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –May 7, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(3) continued… <br /> <br />Ms. King asked if there will be any focus <br />outside of the community, in areas where <br />there may be potential users for Ignition <br />Park.

Mr. Inks said a <br />staff report would be on the May 21 agenda. <br /> <br />Mr. Downes said he read recently that Notre <br />Dame licensed some developing medical <br />technology to a company from Pennsylvania. <br />When something like that happens, do we <br />make sure those companies know that there <br />are opportunities in South Bend for growth <br />and development of that new technology? <br />Do we follow up on that sort of thing? <br /> <br />Mr. Price responded that we have not <br />followed up on those kinds of leads yet, but <br />thought it was a good idea.
