Pursuant to its authority granted by Indiana Code Section 36 -7 -12 et seq., the

many years, with many investors having reviewed the Property for investment and
development purposes, and each having dismissed the Property as not appropriate for
investment and development.

RE: Establishing an Economic Development Target Area
LaSalle Hotel
Dear President Davis:
PHONE: 574/235 -9371
FAx:574/235 -9021
Attached for the Common Council's consideration is a proposed ordinance which
approves and adopts a recommendation made by the South Bend Economic Development
Commission establishing an Economic Development Target Area for the parcels known
as the LaSalle Hotel.
The property known as the LaSalle Hotel has been vacant for many years, with
many investors having reviewed the LaSalle Hotel for investment and development
purposes, and each having dismissed the LaSalle as not appropriate for investment and
development.
The South Bend Economic Development Commission, in furtherance of
economic development within the City of South Bend, has investigated, studied and
surveyed the need for additional job opportunities within the City and has made
recommendations concerning economic development possibilities within the City. Based
on its investigatory action, studies and surveys, the Commission has determined that it is
necessary to designate the LaSalle Hotel as an Economic Development Target Area
which will make the LaSalle Hotel a more attractive investment and facilitate the
development and occupancy of the LaSalle Hotel.
I will present this Ordinance to the Common Council.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely
73��
