South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 9, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> B. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (3) continued... <br /> Mr. Downes questioned if the contract takes <br /> the city through 2012. Mr. Schalliol <br /> responded yes, December 31, 2012. Mr. <br /> Downes questioned the usefulness of the <br /> program. Mr. Schalliol responded that it has <br /> been very useful. When the LaSalle Square <br /> report was received, it modeled a number of <br /> retailers and reported back to us. What it <br /> gives us the ability to do is when someone <br /> comes in and wants to do something outside <br /> of that profile, for example a pharmacy, we <br /> can pull the general pharmacy model and <br /> model against the area and see if it would <br /> work. Some training is involved. It gives us <br /> flexibility about what types of retail will fit <br /> into the market. <br /> Mr. Downes asked if DTSB uses this to <br /> target prospects downtown. Mr. Schalliol <br /> replied yes. <br /> Mr. Downes asked whether the data is <br /> static? Mr. Schalliol answered that our <br /> original report data is static but they are <br /> continually populating on the backside <br /> information (profile information or retail <br /> information). <br /> Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by COMMISSION APPROVED THE PROPOSAL FOR <br /> Mr. Varner and unanimously carried, the COMMERCIAL STUDY IN THE SOUTH BEND <br /> Commission approved the Proposal for CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT AREA BY BUXTON IN <br /> THE AMOUNT OF$21,000 FOR THE YEAR 2012 IN <br /> commercial study in the South Bend Central THE SOUTH BEND CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT <br /> Development Area by Buxton in the amount AREA. <br /> of$21,000 for the year 2012 in the South <br /> Bend Central Development Area. <br /> 13 <br />
