The site is being cleared for the TJX project and they will begin to pour the foundation the first part of July and it should be operating by next July. Mr. Alvarez asked if there was any word on Scottsdale Mall or Kmart, as well as some businesses that closed on Lincolnway West. Mr. Inks said Mr. Hunt had been talking to a number of individuals concerning Scottsdale Mall. The City is working with a consulting group that works nationally. They will be doing a study on retail opportunities and conditions in the city of South Bend. Mr. Alvarez expressed concern about the businesses that closed on Lincolnway since it is the gateway into the city from the airport. Mr. Rock said the first meeting with the consulting group included the businesses that had closed. The group was encouraged by what South Bend Heritage has done with rehabilitating their building and the new site for Teacher's Credit Union. South Bend Heritage believes that as these businesses progress they will spur others into locating on Lincolnway. 6. NEXT MEETING DATE: June 5, 2002 7.
