South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Special Meeting - October 10, 1979 <br />2. NEW BUISINESS <br />b. MrI. Wasielewski continues.... <br />First of all I would suggest that you throw away all <br />the demolition bids you have received, because I don't <br />think you need them any longer. I think we are going <br />to rehab this particular building. I think the City <br />wants it rehabed, and I think the voice of the people <br />has been heard through numerous letters received in that <br />regard. I would certainly like to see the Redevelopment <br />Commission take a new tack with downtown redevelopment. <br />In the past it has been demolition, one after another, and <br />I don't think we have had a chance, with the exception of <br />this particular building, to see what could happen if we <br />re abilitated a building. I think over the years we have <br />never given any building downtown a chance. I bless the <br />day when the City acquired this building because it took <br />off the smoke factors that were involved with the previous <br />ow ers, etc. Now I feel the City has a responsibility to <br />to k at these rehabilitation bids, ignore the demolition <br />bi s, and go ahead with saving this building. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Thank you. Now in defense for the Commissioners <br />who have gone on before, let me say that there has been a <br />change in the philosophy of Congress and with the Department <br />of Housing and Urban Development, through the years concerning <br />development, and there has been a greater emphasis as we <br />we 1 know, in the historic preservation movement, of which <br />So th Bend is a prime example. <br />Ms Auburn: I have one question to direct to National Mobile <br />Co crete. I would like to know if you have been involved <br />in this type of rehabilitation work in any other place in the <br />co ntry? <br />Mr Blandford: I think that is a very valid question. The <br />answer is unequivically... "no ". But, we feel we have a <br />track record with certain organizations and this is an area <br />of diversification for our firm. Being close to South Bend, <br />and myself being a resident of South Bend, we look upon this <br />as a method to carry out that plan of diversification. <br />Th ere <br />direct <br />be ref <br />Second <br />howeve <br />them o <br />next m <br />>eing no objections by members of the Commission, the Chair <br />?d that the rehabilitation proposals and the demolition proposals <br />?rred to the staff and legal counsel for investigation and report. <br />ly, the Chair directed that the documents be opened for inspection, <br />so that the Commissioners or members of the staff could review <br />withdraw them from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 9:30 the <br />â–ºrning. <br />-14- <br />
