Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization (NNRO), the formal partnership of Northeast Neighborhood institutions, residents and local government, Madison Center and Hospital has presented a plan for future growth and investment in the area. The University of Notre Dame, a major landowner in the Northeast Neighborhood, has announced plans to facilitate private investment in key redevelopment sites that will be critical to the long -term viability of the neighborhood. St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, another NNRO partner, has announced plans to vacate its site on LaSalle Avenue. St. Joseph's administrators remain committed to the neighborhood and its stakeholder organizations, and realize the eventual redevelopment of the hospital site will impact the entire community. Communication among these institutions and the neighborhood residents has been strengthened by the creation of the NNRO, and future neighborhood planning will benefit from the ongoing coordination of individual institutional development plans. The NNRO, whose funding members include Memorial Hospital and Health System, Madison Center and Hospital, the University of Notre Dame, St. Joseph Regional Medical Center and the City of South Bend, is itself a vehicle for major economic reinvestment in the Northeast Neighborhood. The successful housing rehabilitation and infill construction program begun on St. Louis, Hill, and Tumock Streets will continue to be a critical part of the revitalization and homeownership preservation strategies. It is anticipated that the NNRO, with the administrative and housing development technical assistance of South Bend Heritage Foundation staff, will lead organized housing redevelopment initiatives throughout the neighborhood in accordance with the goals of the Development Area Plan.
