South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - January 21, 2000 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />d. continued... <br />The Amendment to the South Bend <br />Central Development Area Development <br />Plan goes into detail about why the South <br />Bend Central Development Area should be <br />expanded. Expansion Area No. 4 includes <br />both Memorial Hospital and South Bend <br />Medical Foundation facilities. <br />Ted Foti Sr., Vice - President of Memorial <br />Health System, stated that they are the <br />major property owner and developer of in <br />Downtown Medical Services District that <br />Ms. Kolata referred to. He also stated that <br />over a year ago, they initiated a planning <br />process for Memorial Hospital. The <br />planning process involved determining <br />whether the programs which Memorial <br />Health System had been developing for <br />some time were appropriate, needed to be <br />adjusted, expanded or discontinued. As <br />Memorial Health System went through <br />this process, they determined that the <br />approaches that they had been taking were <br />ones that they wanted to continue. <br />Subsequently, they looked at their location <br />relative to the programs that they want to <br />expand. It was determined that Memorial <br />Hospital's location on Michigan Street and <br />the properties which Memorial Hospital <br />owns in the contiguous blocks are <br />expandable. <br />0 <br />
