South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—April 12, 2011 <br /> of Properties to be Acquired. (Former <br /> Target Store, LaSalle Square) <br /> Mr. Relos noted that staff requests <br /> permission to begin the statutory process to <br /> amend the development plan of the Airport <br /> Economic Development Area (AEDA), to <br /> add to the acquisition list the former Target <br /> store in LaSalle Square Shopping Center. <br /> The building currently houses the St. Vincent <br /> DePaul Society, which is planning to move <br /> to another location. Acquiring this property <br /> does fit in with the LaSalle Square plan. <br /> Mr. Downes questioned whether the Sterling <br /> Group still intended to construct senior <br /> housing there. Mr. Gibney responded it does <br /> and other items on the agenda today move <br /> that process along. We currently own land to <br /> the west and are in negotiations to acquire <br /> and receive as a donation some additional <br /> land to the south from Honeywell so we will <br /> have a fairly substantial amount of land. <br /> Mr. Downes asked if the tax credits had been <br /> approved. Mr. Gibney responded that the <br /> project was approved for tax credits. <br /> Staff requests authorization to begin the <br /> preparation of plans, maps, and related <br /> property information for this property. Once <br /> this information is gathered, staff will present <br /> it to the Commission, and then, upon <br /> approval of the planning information, will <br /> present a declaratory resolution to amend the <br /> acquisition list of the AEDA. <br /> Upon a motion by Ms. King, seconded by COMMISSION AUTHORIZED STAFF TO BEGIN THE <br /> Mr. Downes and unanimously carried, the PROCESS TO ADD PROPERTY TO THE AIRPORT <br /> Commission authorized staff to begin the ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AREA DEVELOPMENT <br /> PLAN LIST OF PROPERTIES TO BE ACQUIRED. <br /> process to add property to the Airport (FORMER TARGET STORE,LASALLE SQUARE <br /> Economic Development Area Development <br /> 15 <br />
