with the bid portion Spring 2022 for the LaSalle portion. Colfax will be

intersections and bike lanes the plan is to slow down traffic without causing
congestion.

Works meeting to get the design started.

housed. Catalyst III sold the building to a new buyer. The buyer and buyer’s
attorney is 1173 South Bend DST. They closed the transaction on December 2,
2021. As part of the transaction the parties drew up an assignment and
assumption of the property. They are allowed to do this without written consent of
the Redevelopment Commission, however, the Redevelopment Commission has
30days to object to the assignment. This document has been reviewed and if you
have any questions, the buyer is on the call to answer them. Commission
approval is requested.
Secretary Warner asked what portion of the assignment are the not assuming.
Ms. Kennedy states for lots I & II we are still obliged where TRC and ND Turbo are
located. No terms are changing. We have been working to close the site by 2024
and we are working with IDEM for a 2022 date which will close it by 2024.
