Luecke, Mayor <br /> RELEASE FROM: FOR RELEASE: <br /> OFFICE OF MAYOR LUECKE THURSDAY,APRIL 7, 2005 <br /> HOTEL LASALLE: BUILDING A 21ST CENTURY CITY ON THE FOUNDATION OF <br /> SOUTH BEND'S HISTORY <br /> Sharon Kendall, Executive Director of the City of South Bend Department of Community and Economic <br /> Development, announced today that the City would be expanding its search for potential developers for the <br /> Hotel LaSalle. On Friday, February 18, 2005, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission held its regular <br /> meeting at which time it received several proposals for the redevelopment of the site, none of which <br /> conformed to the bid requirements. Discussions after completing the bidding process have not culminated in <br /> a successful agreement for the sale and development of the property. <br /> The public process for the Commission's sale of property has generated publicity for the Hotel LaSalle and <br /> has given rise to interest in the site from a variety of sources. According to Kendall, "The Hotel LaSalle <br /> presents a unique opportunity to make a part of South Bend's past a building block for a 21st Century City. <br /> In keeping with the Commission's duty to promote land use in the manner that best serves the interests of <br /> the City and the City's commitment to protect the historical integrity of this community asset, the City will <br /> expand its search for qualified developers with experience in redevelopment of historic properties" <br /> For more information, contact Sharon Kendall, Executive Director of the Department of Community and <br /> Economic Development at 574-235-9375. <br /> Back I City Home Page I City Directory I Site Map I Search Go <br /> powered by FreeFind <br /> Created by the City of South Bend Department of Information Technologies. <br /> Copyright©2005 City of South Bend.All rights reserved. <br /> http://www.ci.south-bend.in.us/Press/Releases 2005/040705 HotelLaSalle.htm 1/13/2006 <br />
