to the massive loss of o <br />p pulation. Each neighborhood has pockets of commercial and <br />industrial land uses; and each neighborhood has been impacted negatively by the <br />decline of the city's industrial base. Cutting between the two neighborhood areas is a <br />major commercial corridor —South Gateway — located along South Michigan and Main <br />Streets. <br />The Rum Village neighborhood stretches between the Rum Village Industrial <br />Park on the west and the Studebaker Corridor and South Gateway on the east. <br />Immediately north of the neighborhood, between Indiana Avenue and Sample Street, <br />is a long corridor of commercial and industrial land uses that starts in the Rum <br />' Village Industrial Park and extends to the Studebaker Corridor. The Southeast <br />Neighborhood, on the eastern edge of the Sample -Ewing Development Area, is <br />located between Sample Street and Ewing Avenue, immediately east of the Studebaker <br />' Corridor. It is separated from the Rum Village Neighborhood by the major <br />commercial corridor —South Gateway —that serves both neighborhoods. <br />t <br />1 <br />u <br />II. PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION <br />The decision to merge the adjacent sub -areas into a new, expanded area requires re- <br />examination of the Redevelopment Commission's plans and vision for the formerly separate <br />sub - areas. While each sub -area has certain distinct characteristics, the historical, physical, <br />socio - economic, and functional aspects and the development potential and barriers <br />development within each sub -area have significant commonalities.

PROJECT AREA HISTORY <br />to <br />section <br />As stated previously, the relationship between the five (5) residential, <br />commercial and industrial sub -areas is physically, historically, economically, and <br />functionally interrelated. From the 1880s to the 1950s the South Bend community <br />(and the larger regional area) was dominated by its manufacturing sector and a <br />handful of industrial giants. Nowhere are our industrial past and future economic <br />challenges more evident than in the Sample -Ewing Development Area, which <br />stretches from west to east across South Bend's near south side. <br />The area, once dominated by large industrial giants such as the Studebaker <br />Motor Company, the Oliver Chilled Plow Company, and Singer, also served as the <br />location for many smaller industrial companies that provided goods and services to the <br />larger companies. The viability and prosperity of the large firms provided the <br />mainspring for most economic activity. Additionally, the commercial and residential <br />areas within the Sample -Ewing Development Area developed, prospered, declined and <br />disappeared in tandem with the industrial areas.
