the NE development plan that has been adopted by the NNRO, the NENC and the City. With the <br />help of key neighborhood leaders, our institutional partners and South Bend Heritage <br />Foundation, we spent several years building consensus on what should be done. Notre Dame <br />jump-started this reinvestment by helping their staff construct new homes on vacant lots to the <br />south of campus. These beautiful homes filled gaps and fit in architecturally. They also <br />strengthened the fabric of this fine neighborhood. The University opened up a site for future <br />development by helping Logan Center find a new home, and then by realigning Edison. Road. <br />The new intersection ofEddy and Edison wi11 become a location for shops that serve both <br />students and the community. Like the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and the Commons area <br />in front of it, this retail center will be a place of nexus where town and gown can interact. Notre <br />Dame is selecting a developer to construct bath the stores and new housing units along Eddy <br />Street. It will be an exciting time in the neighborhood. <br />The plan also calls for <br />new single-family housing to <br />be constructed in the triangle <br />area bounded on the west by <br />Eddy and an the south by SR <br />23. South Bend Heritage is <br />moving that development <br />forward. The City will design <br />an exteosion of Napoleon Blvd. <br />and look at other infrastructure <br />needs in the target area.

When the State completes the realignment of SR 23, based <br />an a plan developed through multiple meetings with neighborhood residents, another prime retail <br />development area will open up at the new realigned intersection with Corby. Just a few blacks <br />south from this location, the South Bend Clinic has recently announced news ofa significant <br />expansion. With the planned improvements in the NE and East Back neighborhoods, they <br />decided that this location provided the best option for comprehensive care for their clients. We <br />welcome this investment and the jobs and health care services that it will keep in this area. This <br />A-31 <br />
