South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -March 10, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B. South Bend Central Development Area <br />() continued... <br />5. Description of proposed development -jobs to <br />be created or retained as the result of <br />improvements on the Site <br />Your proposal refers to "two creative <br />businesses...employing 25 people" on the <br />site. <br />Does this mean that 25 new jobs will be <br />created as the result of your development, <br />or are the 25 people already employed by <br />the two businesses at their present <br />locations? If the latter is the case and <br />your development does not proceed, will <br />some or all of the 25 jobs be lost? <br />Written Answer: The two creative <br />businesses with whom Eco-Urban is <br />working are both in need of new space. <br />The jobs to which Eco-Urban refers are of <br />people already employed at their present <br />locations. If this development does not <br />proceed on this site Eco-Urban will need <br />to find another. If that turns out to be <br />somewhere other than South Bend, then <br />there is a chance that some or all of those <br />jobs will be lost since both these <br />businesses are very interested in <br />relocating in the kind eco-urban <br />development proposed. <br />Mr. Keen added that in addition to jobs <br />related to the commercial offices in Phase <br />I, Phase II calls for some retail which <br />should bring additional jobs to the site. <br />21 <br />
