South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —May 8, 2012 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />D. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(2) continued... <br />another project that the City received last <br />year; monies in the amount of $35,000 were <br />forwarded over to this project.
