South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —June 14, 2012 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(6) continued... <br />Mr. Varner asked if there were any <br />contributing partners or is it strictly to be <br />funded by the city. Mr. Schalliol noted that <br />Union Station Technology Center will pay <br />for the portions that relate to their needs. <br />Some other funds are coming from the Board <br />of Public Works. <br />Mr. Inks asked if the responsibilities for <br />funding would be spelled out in the <br />Memorandum of Understanding. Mr. <br />Schalliol responded that they would. <br />Mr. Varner asked if the study is mainly <br />trying to recognize the assets being brought <br />to the table for both projects and how the <br />visions for both can be complimentary. Mr. <br />Schalliol responded yes. The first phase will <br />not only determine our assets but also figure <br />out what additional assets could be provided. <br />Mr. Varner asked when the study would be <br />completed. Mr. Schalliol said it is expected <br />by the end of June. <br />Mr. Davis wondered whether with all the <br />energy production at this location, might it <br />negatively affect quality of life? Mr. <br />Schalliol replied that there is a Renaissance <br />District partner that is interested in bringing <br />to the City of South Bend a bio- processing <br />plant. They take solid waste and turn it into <br />energy. One of the questions we face is <br />where to put those kinds of users. A look at <br />the whole picture will enable us to make wise <br />decisions. <br />12 <br />
