South Bend edevelopment Commission <br />Regular Mee ing - July 11, 1980 <br />6. NEW <br />d. Mr.ISzarwark continues... <br />This construction company has a commitment <br />from the Urban League to finish by <br />Nov tuber a 4,000 sq. ft. building to be <br />use as an office building. The area in <br />question is familiar to me for a couple <br />of reasons. It is on the corner of <br />Grant and W. Washington. I resided on <br />Grant Street with my parents until I <br />co leted law school and I used to pass <br />by this particular piece of property. <br />I can.testify that this is an area which <br />has needed for some time some substantial <br />red velopment. The area has hit very bad <br />economic times, and has been going through <br />this period for some time. The land in <br />question has nothing built on it and <br />has quite a few weeds, which presents <br />certain environmental and health problems. <br />Tai we are planning on doing is building <br />,000 sq. ft. office building and I <br />thi k it can be something we can b-e very <br />pro d of. <br />Mr. Cira: Has the lease been approved <br />yet petween the Urban League and <br />Mr. Batteast? <br />Mr. Szarwark: They have entered into an <br />agr ement, whereby if the project is <br />completed by November, they will move in. <br />Mr. Robinson made a motion to approve <br />the report of the Redevelopment Staff <br />to cepprove a tax abatement request <br />rel tive to an area commonly referred <br />to zs the Southwest corner of Washington <br />and Grant Streets, and to present this <br />rep rt to the Common Council, seconded <br />by r.
