About the 933 Bridge Project <br />South Bend art studio cstackstudios was brought on to undertake the renovation and <br />beautification of the pedestrian bridge that runs across 933 between Angela Blvd and <br />Northshore Ave. The pedestrian bridge is the northern gateway into the city and has been due <br />for a face -lift to better reflect the continual progress of South Bend. <br />Over the course of the summer local artists, volunteers, and students have created a mural to <br />enhance this entryway into the city. Artist Christopher Stackowizc highlighted local <br />architecture in the mural to create something that incorporates the history of our Studebaker <br />heyday and the possibilities of our future. The 933 Bridge Project is the first of several projects <br />that are slated over the course of the next five years, designed to help with the revitalization of <br />the area. <br />The goal is to be able to help facilitate the physical transformation our city and its community <br />deserve, to be the place that we all recognize it can be. With all cstackstudio projects we <br />welcome the inclusion of local artists and volunteers as it allows individuals to take part in the <br />enhancement of their city. We are excited to be involved as South Bend begins another stage <br />of its continuous development in an effort to unlock its true potential. <br />This project is one of several that developed out of the Actionable Economic Development <br />Forum, a group of local leaders from business, city government and the Chamber of <br />Commerce, which was convened in the spring by the Community Foundation of St. Joseph <br />County. Together, this group of 40 worked through a process led by project consultant Nick <br />Easley to identify specific local economic and social challenges, brainstorm solutions, and then <br />launch fast -track pilot projects to address them — achieving significant results in a short period <br />of time. The Actionable Economic Development Forum was made possible by the Community <br />Foundation of St. Joseph County, the University of Notre Dame, Judd Leighton Foundation <br />and Union Station Technology Center. <br />
