South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—April 10, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (6) continued... <br /> Mr. Varner asked if the property is owned by <br /> the Toll Road. Mr. Schalliol responded that <br /> it is. This is land that currently isn't <br /> productive for them, but they would be <br /> interested in having it become productive. <br /> So the Toll Road may sell it, lease it or <br /> develop it themselves. The challenge is that <br /> the Toll Road's land is on the south side, so <br /> we would have to take our road right through <br /> the middle of their site. The alternative is <br /> that we push the road over, away from Toll <br /> Road land on both the north and the south, <br /> but that would move Moreau Court farther <br /> east. We need to have the Toll Road in the <br /> conversation to see if they would allow the <br /> City an easement or sell the land rights. <br /> Mr. Davis asked if there was still a lot of <br /> interest in Blackthorn. Mr. Schalliol <br /> responded that there is interest in the area, for <br /> example, Tire Rack. Cressy & Everett is <br /> marketing the area for the City. It's a tough <br /> development market right now. <br /> Mr. Inks added that there is corporate park <br /> west of the roundabout. To the east is <br /> industrial land. Schafer Gear recently <br /> expanded its operations. There is a lot of <br /> acreage available for industrial development <br /> to the east of that intersection. <br /> Mr. Davis wondered whether the bridge <br /> would produce more interest. Mr. Downes <br /> thought it would. <br /> Mr. Varner asked what happened to the Blue <br /> 29 <br />
