Home My WebLink About5A1 Resolution No. 3578 (Property Transfer RDC to BPW Washington & Taylor) Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item DATE: 08/18/2023 FROM: Joseph Molnar SUBJECT: Transfer Washington/Taylor to BPW Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Transfer of Property at Washington/Taylor to BPW Specifics: In the fall of 2022, the RDC issued a Request for Proposals for certain vacant properties that the RDC owns. One of those properties included was the northwest corner of the Washington/Taylor intersection. South Bend Heritage submitted a proposal for the property contemplating a six-unit mixed market rate and affordable apartment building in the style of a mansion house to match the historical character of the neighborhood. As SBH is a non-profit organization, transferring the property to the Board of Public Works eases the transfer of property to SBH with all appropriate commitments secured. If the agreement with SBH falls through, BPW will transfer the property back to RDC. Staff requests approval of the Resolution.
