CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />PETE Bu nGtEG, MAYOR <br />Office of the Mayor <br />CONTACT: <br />Kara Kelly, (574) 235 -5853 <br />kkelly@southbendin.gov <br />FOR RELEASE: Thursday, June 20, 2013 <br />NEW VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS SOUTH BEND'S ASSESTS AND HOPES FOR HALL OF FAME SITE <br />Downtown South Bend (DTSB) released a video highlighting how the city has come to terms <br />with its industrial past turning the manufacturing section of town into an emerging high -tech <br />industrial park. It also features how South Bend has been preparing itself for the information age <br />since before anyone knew what was coming. As was a benefit to Studebaker sitting at the <br />intersection of shipping crossroads, today South Bend is sitting at the center of six national fiber <br />routes at the center of the information superhighway. <br />This is just the beginning of a new South Bend, says DTSB, as they and the City of South Bend <br />seek a partner to help adaptively reuse the former College Football Hall of Fame, located at 111 <br />South St. Joseph Street in downtown South Bend. A website, Cal1ForOffer.com, has been <br />established with submittal requirements. The deadline for submissions is July 31. <br />"This is a great property with tremendous potential and a key piece of downtown redevelopment," <br />Mayor Pete Buttigieg says. "Adapting existing assets to new uses is a City priority and we look <br />forward to seeing proposals that offer a dynamic addition to the community." <br />To access the video, please visit httv: / /www.ci.south- bend.in.us /. <br />
