A <br />South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting — November 18, 2005 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS (CONT.) <br />the week after Thanksgiving. Landscaping will be done <br />in the spring. It's a fantastic upgrade from its former <br />condition. <br />Mr. Schalliol also reported on the United Drive project, <br />between Sample Street and the railroad. In 2001 United <br />Beverage approached the City about its need to expand, <br />suggesting the City buy United Beverage to facilitate <br />expansion of the Police Station or to find a creative way <br />for United Beverage to remain at its location and <br />expand. A casual suggestion was made to move United <br />Drive. That alternative was acted on, and after four <br />years is about complete. The United Beverage site will <br />go from a four -acre site to a ten -acre site. United <br />Beverage will begin its 50,000 sft expansion next <br />spring. <br />Mr. Laurent reported on the opening of the new <br />Studebaker Museum on October 30. The building is an <br />incredible improvement over their former location. The <br />collection is about 50% new. In two weeks the Indiana <br />Museum of History will be opening a new exhibit on the <br />history of Studebaker and Oliver corporations in South <br />Bend. <br />Mr. Witwer noted that demolition has started on the <br />homes to make way for the Bosch expansion. <br />Ms. Laurent noted that there has been a good deal of <br />response to our RFPs both locally and regionally. It's <br />also encouraging that South Bend is now on the radar of <br />developers outside of the area. <br />8. NEXT COMMISSION MEETING <br />The next meeting of the Redevelopment Commission is NEXT COMMISSION MEETING <br />scheduled for Friday, December 2, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. <br />31 <br />
