OLD BU.SIN SS Mr. King asked Mr. Bloomquist for any report or comment he might wish to submit to the Committee, regarding the building plans of the First Bank and Trust Co. Mr. Bloomquist responded that the'Bank is giving the project considerable priority, as is, Mr. Imus of the Development Control Corporation, and when Mr. Imus returns from his business in Florida, Mr. Bloomquist expects the projected plans will gain considerable momentum. Mr. Getzinger spoke of the frustration caused by the lack of communication regarding building plans on the Plaza. Mr. Schrager added that considerable difficulty resulted from the announcement made to the public on April 25th., because of certain assumptions included in the projected plans for a super - block. Mr. Bloomquist agreed that this situation was unfortunate, but notintentional, because the plans were not presented to the public as a committed situation, only as, a possibility. Mr. Bloomquist added that he believed an improvement can be expected regarding the building plans of!_the First Bank and Trust, mostly because the Bank is locally oriented, with responsibilities and involvement with the City of South Bend. Mr. Schrager commented that Mr. Bloomquist's attitude favoring open communication, was a welcome change, and would encourage cooperation toward the goal of completion of the Plaza.
