As <br /> noted in the ordinance, the purpose of the bonds is to construct and equip a parking garage to be <br /> located in the block bounded by Washington, Michigan, Jefferson and Main Streets in downtown <br /> South Bend. The bond proceeds will also be used to construct a public pedestrian plaza and <br /> associated public improvements. <br /> This project is being undertaken in conjunction with the new construction of the private <br /> development of over 135,000 square feet of new development. Memorial Health System, Inc. <br /> will be constructing the Memorial-Leighton Health Plex at the corner of Main and Jefferson. This <br /> building will be a minimum of four stories and will contain approximately 75,000 square feet. It <br /> will contain a mix of uses that include health and fitness facilities available to the public on a <br /> membership basis, community education, clinical treatment programs, orthopedic therapy, <br /> physical therapy, educational instruction and office uses. Trammell Crow MW, Inc. will be <br /> building a four story, 60,000 square foot Class A office building along Main Street,just north of <br /> the Memorial-Leighton Health Plex. Construction of the parking garage will also meet the City's <br /> obligation to Teachers Credit Union that was agreed to in 1984 when TCU purchased land from <br /> the Commission in order to construct their 60,000 square foot headquarters in downtown South <br /> Bend. Without the construction of the parking garage and the public plaza, neither of these <br /> private investments would occur. <br /> The bonds proposed to be issued pursuant to the enclosed ordinance are payable solely from the <br /> City's share of CEDIT revenues, there being no pledge of property taxes to pay for the bond <br /> issue. The bonds will be further secured by a reserve fund which will be funded with a portion of <br /> the proceeds of the bonds. The bond ordinance provides that the bonds may be sold by public or <br /> REDEVELOPT4ENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE FINANCIAL SL PROGItAM BUREAU OF HOUSING PLANNING Si NEIGHBORHOOD <br /> ANN E.
