SpU TH 8F <br /> � G <br /> z s <br /> 1865 <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br /> PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br /> OFFICE OF THE MAYOR <br /> • We have redefined roles and re-configured the office for maximum <br /> efficiency, and this group of people works long hours, day in day out, to <br /> serve the community and solve problems. <br /> 2. Economic Development/ Physical Feel (images /layouts) <br /> • We all agreed in last year's election that getting more jobs in this <br /> community is crucial. <br /> • Already, there is great momentum as we work to prepare for our economic <br /> comeback. First, as I said a moment ago,we see terrific progress <br /> downtown. <br /> • In January, I approved an investment to create a Veteran's Affairs <br /> clinic in the heart of our city, at the old Gates Toyota site near <br /> Coveleski stadium. Building at light speed, this clinic will be treating <br /> patients in less than a month. It adds up to 100 jobs to the downtown <br /> area, and will bring at least 50,000 patients a year and their families to <br /> a part of town that has been too quiet for too long. Best of all,we did it <br /> in a way that will actually save taxpayer money compared to the <br /> original plan for the site. <br /> • Meanwhile, the Redevelopment Commission just yesterday approved <br /> investments in state-of-the-art power infrastructure and building <br /> renovation that will continue to build on the fiber optic infrastructure <br /> around Union Station. This project not only helps us cultivate high- <br /> tech jobs, but it also gives us the chance to rehabilitate the largest <br /> remaining Studebaker building, an underused assembly building of <br /> 1400 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING•227 W.JEFFERSON BOULEVARD•SOUTH BEND,INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONE 574/235-9261• FAx 574/235-9892 <br />
