South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—May 10, 2011 <br /> 5. OLD BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> A. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> City for relocation of this property. Mr. <br /> Relos stated that the Economic Development <br /> office has not. We leave that up to the <br /> business to find a location that fits their <br /> needs. We hope it's inside the city limits. <br /> Mr. Downes added that he also has a problem <br /> with the relocation outside of the city limits. <br /> He is not convinced that a good faith effort <br /> has been made to relocate this business <br /> within the City of South Bend. He has no <br /> problem at all with acquiring this property <br /> and paying the costs to relocate them but <br /> does have a problem if it's not in the city <br /> limits, and there's not been a good faith <br /> effort to find a suitable place within the city <br /> limits. We are the Redevelopment <br /> Commission for the City of South Bend. <br /> We're not the Redevelopment Commission <br /> of St. Joseph County. <br /> Mr. Varner agreed and said he disagrees that <br /> it is necessary to acquire the property at this <br /> time. He would like to leave the property as <br /> it is until more development occurs in <br /> Ignition Park and this property is bought <br /> privately. <br /> Mr. Relos noted the uniqueness of the <br /> property in that it contains a house and a <br /> business and the owners needs to find <br /> property with a home to go along with it. <br /> Ms. King agrees with Mr. Downes. She <br /> doesn't have a problem with relocating the <br /> business but is concerned about them <br /> 9 <br />
