South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -March 3, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. South Bend Central Development Area <br />() continued... <br />development should contain. An outside <br />consultant facilitated it. It was <br />very helpful and successful at achieving <br />buy-in. Development of the Rink site <br />isn't worth doing, for us, unless it <br />becomes part of something much larger. <br />This has to be a catalyst for something <br />bigger. Holladay Corporation paid <br />entirely for the Portage Prairie charrette. <br />Since development of the Rink site is of <br />more public interest and since the City is <br />the current owner, we propose sharing the <br />cost of the charrette. The FireArts studio <br />is an example of the public interest about <br />what happens in that whole area. A <br />couple of the Holladay Corporation <br />partners were involved in getting it <br />settled into that location. We knew it <br />was only temporary, though. Just <br />because we didn't include them in our <br />proposal doesn't mean we want them <br />thrown out. We have to find a place for <br />them in this process, and clearly we will. <br />The cost of the Portage Prairie charrette <br />was $165,000. This proposed charrette <br />should be less expensive, probably in the <br />neighborhood of $100,000. The area is <br />smaller and there are some "givens" <br />already. <br />• Vacate Sycamore Street between <br />LaSalle and Colfax <br />Answer: Yes, see response to question <br />2B <br />23 <br />
