South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ting - September 7, 1979 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS (continued)... <br />Mr. Ellison: I will be bringing up some matters concerning <br />the Mall project in relation to real estate. A number <br />of items are being discussed. <br />Mr. Larry Ford: What about the design of the mall, have <br />you decided on that? <br />Mr. Ellison: No, I wouldn't say there is accord on the <br />design Gruen is doing. Their fundamental task is to pull <br />together a design concept - -one everyone agrees to. The <br />Rouse study explains different connections such as between <br />Roberts ns and the Mall to be built, questions of parking <br />and traffic circulation, etc. Gruen's job is to essen- <br />tially be a catalyst to talk to all the parties and come <br />up with a concept which might satisfy everybody. Once we <br />come up with a concept, it is easier to go about the <br />process of financing it. <br />Ms. De beck: Then, what you are saying now is that there <br />have been some things that have jelled and possibilities <br />that relate to the mall which you can't discuss with us <br />at this time. <br />Mr. Ni tz: That is right. I think any announcement and <br />plan should come from the people who are going to do the <br />work an put up the money. <br />Mr. Ellison: We are very optimistic that there is going <br />to be a project on the two blocks, and that there will <br />be some construction next spring as the Mayor has been <br />indicating. <br />At this time Mr. Ellison introduced to the Commissioners <br />and public present, Mrs. Ann Kolata, who will be joining <br />the staff as Deputy Director of the Department of <br />Redevelopment. <br />Mr. Ni#z: On behalf of the Commissioners we welcome you. <br />HEEMMM <br />The ne; <br />sion mi <br />9.
