This area would only capture TIF revenue generated from new single family and <br /> commercial development. The revenue that is generated by new development will, in turn, <br /> support improvements in the new the Lincoln and Kennedy Park Residential Housing <br /> Development Program Expansion Area. <br /> The formal process began on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at Redevelopment Commission <br /> meeting where a public meeting was held and the Commission voted to adopt the Declaratory <br /> Resolution. On Monday, August 18, 2025, the Plan Commission adopted a Resolution that <br /> approved the initial Declaratory Resolution. <br /> Enclosed is the proposed Resolution for the Committee's consideration. The Plan Commission <br /> Resolution, which includes the initial Declaratory Resolution, certain maps, and allowable uses <br /> of the generated revenue, is included as an exhibit. <br /> If Council adopts the Resolution approving the Plan Commission Resolution, letters will be <br /> mailed to all property owners in the Lincoln and Kennedy Park expansion area, notifying them of <br /> the public hearing that will be held during the Thursday, September 11, 2025 Redevelopment <br /> Commission meeting. On this day, the Commission will consider adopting the Confirmatory <br /> Resolution, effectively expanding the River West Development Area and establishing the <br /> Lincoln and Kennedy Park Residential Housing Development Program Expansion Area. <br /> EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br /> 14005 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Blvd. South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9371 www.southbendin.gov <br />
