5. OLD BUSINESS (Cont'd <br />the Plaza into the "people place. ". The Commissioners also <br />gave 14r. Wilcox their full support in developing projects <br />and programs that would help stimulate downtown South Bend <br />and the entire community. <br />b Formulization of Grand Opening of River Bend Plaza, <br />R -66: Mr. Lennon said this has been discussed in previous <br />Commi sion meetings and the date was contingent on Hickey's <br />const uction schedule as to whether we could get the major <br />porti )n of the River Bend Plaza completed on May 31, or <br />two o thee weeks hence. It is the opinion of both the <br />engin ering consultants (Clyde E. Williams & Associates, <br />Inc.) and our staff that most of the construction work <br />will be completed from Jefferson Street south by May 31. <br />We have advised the general contractor and the subcontrac- <br />tors that this.date is firma The contract itself states <br />that he Hickey Company has until June 25 to complete the <br />project. Some minor work will need to be done after that <br />date. We will be concentrating in month of June on the <br />area in front of the Morris Civic Auditorium. This will <br />not a fect our grand opening. <br />The Hickey Company has been very cooperative. The purlins <br />at this point are holding us up. We are again having con- <br />struction meetings the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month, <br />and meeting with the subcontractors on a weekly basis. <br />Mr. Wiggins stressed when we have our grand opening, that <br />the first impressions are very vital and we need to have <br />as mu :h of the work completed as possible. <br />Mr. Lannon recommended we change the Grand Opening Date <br />of Ma 31, and to set firm dates of June 21, 22 and 23, <br />as th ee grand opening dates. This would be a Friday, <br />Satur ay and Sunday extravaganza. This will allow us to <br />have 0% or more of the entire Plaza work done. <br />Groun breaking for the Civic Center is scheduled for July <br />4. Tie Ethnic Folk Festival and other festivities are also <br />sched led for July 4. We want other events prior to the <br />July Ith schedules to have people see what is going on <br />in the downtown area. <br />Mrs, Sandy Greenhut stated they had planned to have every- <br />thing July 4th -- including the Grand Opening. To have something <br />two weeks before and on July 4th, she wanted to know why we <br />can't have everything on one day. She couldn't see people <br />coming down on the 21st and again on the 4th of July. <br />Mr. Wiggins stated we had agreed on City -wide participation <br />on the 4th of July, but the Commission did say that we would <br />be having separate functions. What you are going to have might <br />be quite different; our three -day events may not be the same. <br />- 7 - <br />GRAND OPENING, <br />RIVER BEND PLAZA, <br />JUNE 21, 22 & 23, <br />1974 <br />
