1. Development Agreement (Beacon Heights)
Erik Glavich, Director of Growth & Opportunity, presented agenda
items 5A1, 2, & 3 together. The City is partnering with L+M
Development Partners to renovate Beacon Heights; a residential
community located on Ardmore Trail and just south of Unity Gardens.
Built in the 1940s, the property includes approximately 174 apartment
units and has not undergone significant renovations since its original
construction. This project represents a major investment in preserving
and improving quality, affordable housing for current and future
residents.
The development includes upgrades to apartment units, community
spaces, and other site amenities that need substantial rehabilitation.
L+M plans to purchase the property and anticipate closing by the end of
July. The project has already received a 4% Low-Income Housing Tax
Credit (LIHTC) award, making local support an important component of
the overall financing package. As discussed at the previous meeting, a list
of planned improvements has been provided. Sophie Cohen from L+M is
available to answer any project-specific questions.
Today, staff are requesting approval of two items. First, approval of a
development agreement providing up to $1.25 million in project
assistance through a forgivable loan. As with previous forgivable loan
agreements, the approval process requires authorization by the
Redevelopment Commission, the Economic Development Commission,
the Common Council, and final approval by the Redevelopment
Commission. Second, staff is requesting approval of Resolution No.
3675, which authorizes the use of those funds in the form of a forgivable
loan.

President Relos asked about the timeline for completion of this project
and Sophie Cohen with L+M Development Partners responded 2027.
Commissioner Gooden-Rodges inquired about when the meeting with
the residents will take place, Ms. Cohen responded July 23, 2026. In
addition, following the anticipated closing, L&M plans to host a
community clean-up and barbecue in early August, tentatively during
the second week of the month. This event will provide residents with an
opportunity to meet the development team, build relationships with
project staff, and share any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding
the community and the upcoming improvements.
Vice President White asked, “have any residents expressed concerns
about the project or what may happen moving forward”? Mr. Glavich
responded, at this time, that neither the City nor L+M has received
significant concerns from residents regarding the project. While there
have been some comments on social media, no substantial negative
feedback has been reported through formal channels. Overall,
community response has been positive, and residents appear
encouraged by the level of investment being made in the Beacon Heights
neighborhood and the improvements planned for the property.
President Relos asked about how many units are vacant. Ms. Cohen
stated 16 total and will be used for hospitality units and will be the first
to be renovated.
Upon a motion by Ophelia Gooden-Rodgers for approval, seconded by
David Relos, the motion carried with Secretary Wax abstaining; the
Commission approved the Agreement as presented on July 9, 2026.
2. Public Hearing on Additional Appropriation (Beacon Heights)
A notice was published in Gateway/DLGF on June 26, 2026, regarding
the public hearing on Additional Appropriation (Beacon Heights).
A public hearing on Additional Appropriation for Beacon Heights was
opened for public comment. No comments were made. The public
hearing was then closed.
3. Resolution No. 3675 Appropriating Certain Funds in Connection with a
Direct Loan to the Developer of an Economic Development Facility
(Beacon Heights)
Upon a motion by Karen White for approval, seconded by Ophelia
Gooden-Rodgers, the motion carried with Secretary Wax abstaining; the
CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – July 9, 2026

Commission approved Resolution No. 3675 as presented on July 9,
2026.
4. Public Hearing on Proposed Lease with South Bend Redevelopment
Authority (Redevelopment Authority Lease Rental Revenue Bonds,
Series 2026)
A notice was published in the South Bend Tribune on June 26, 2026,
regarding the public hearing on Proposed Lease with South Bend
Redevelopment Authority (Redevelopment Authority Lease Rental
Revenue Bonds, Series 2026).
A public hearing on Proposed Lease with South Bend Redevelopment
Authority for the Redevelopment Authority Lease Rental Revenue
Bonds, Series 2026, was opened for public comment. No comments were
made. The public hearing was then closed.
5. Resolution No. 3676 Authorizing the Execution of a Lease Between the
South Bend Redevelopment Authority and the South Bend
Redevelopment Commission and all Matters Related Thereto
(Redevelopment Authority Lease Rental Revenue Bonds, Series 2026)
Erik Glavich, Director of Growth & Opportunity, presented items 5A4 &
5 together. This resolution authorizes the execution of a lease
agreement between the South Bend Redevelopment Commission and
the South Bend Redevelopment Authority for the purpose of issuing
bonds. The Redevelopment Authority would serve as the bond issuer,
and this agreement establishes the legal framework necessary to
facilitate that issuance.
At the previous meeting, Joseph Molnar, Deputy Director of Community
Investment, reviewed the proposed projects in detail. The projects
identified for funding through this bond total approximately $24 million
and are focused on improvements that will benefit residents on the
City’s west side. These investments include significant community-
focused projects that will enhance amenities and services available to
residents. For example, funding would support the development of the
Rum Village Neighborhood Center, a need that was identified through
community engagement, as the neighborhood currently lacks a
dedicated community center.
We are excited about the impact these projects will have on west side
neighborhoods and the opportunities they will create for residents.
President Relos asked about the timeline and terms of the lease. Tom
Everett with Barnes & Thornburg, explained the lease agreement
between the Redevelopment Commission and the Redevelopment
CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – July 9, 2026
Page | 5
Authority would have a maximum term of 19 years. While the current
expectation is that the bonds will be issued with an approximate 15-year
term, the 19-year lease provides flexibility and establishes the maximum
allowable duration for the agreement.
Upon a motion by Ophelia Gooden-Rodgers for approval, seconded by
Karen White, the motion carried unanimously; the Commission
approved Resolution No. 3676 as presented on July 9, 2026.
6. Non-Exclusive Utility Easement Agreement (ChoiceLight, Inc., Sample
Street)
Erin Michaels, Property Development Manager, presented a proposed
non-exclusive utility easement agreement between the Redevelopment
Commission (RDC) and ChoiceLight, Inc. The easement would be located
along Sample Street and extend across four RDC-owned parcels in the
northern portion of Ignition Park; the Certified Technology Park located
just south of downtown South Bend.
The proposed easement would consist of a five-foot-wide utility corridor
extending approximately 1,800 feet along the northern edge of the
parcels adjacent to Sample Street. The easement would connect to
ChoiceLight’s fiber hut, which is located on property previously sold by
the RDC for the expansion of fiber and internet infrastructure.
Under the terms of the agreement, the easement would be used
exclusively for fiber utility infrastructure. ChoiceLight, Inc. would be
responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of all
associated fiber lines and equipment. The company would also be
required to restore any portions of Sample Street or the impacted
parcels disturbed during construction and replace any trees removed as
part of the installation process.
The agreement also permits the installation of an Elkhart County
Network fiber line within the duct bank, consistent with ChoiceLight’s
role in managing that network. In addition, the Redevelopment
Commission would retain the authority to require the relocation of the
fiber infrastructure, with appropriate written notice, should future
redevelopment projects, utility improvements, or right-of-way
expansions necessitate such a change.
Vice President White, inquired about a timeline and the impact on
traffic. Regina Emberton, CEO of ChoiceLight, Inc., explained that the
project will utilize boring underground, similar to other utility
installations, with work performed by a subcontractor. Because
construction will occur within the easement area adjacent to the
CITY OF SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING – July 9, 2026
Page | 6
sidewalk, no lane closures or significant traffic impacts are anticipated,
and impacts to existing trees are expected to be minimal. Construction is
expected to take only a few days, potentially up to one week.
Ms. Emberton noted that ChoiceLight has maintained a long-standing
partnership with the City of South Bend, providing and managing fiber
infrastructure since the mid-2000s. While utility projects are typically
constructed within public rights-of-way, using the easement along
Sample Street—a state road—will minimize traffic disruptions and
simplify construction.
The new fiber line will connect ChoiceLight’s fiber hut to key facilities,
including the Union Station and Analytics data centers, replacing aging
infrastructure along Sample Street and creating additional network
redundancy. The improvements will strengthen connectivity, enhance
reliability, and support economic development by providing businesses
and internet service providers with additional routing options
throughout the fiber network.
Upon a motion by Eli Wax for approval, seconded by Karen White, the
motion carried unanimously; the Commission approved the Agreement
as presented on July 9, 2026.
