REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 25, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In no way shape or form am I against Notre Dame or their expansion but I am definitely <br />PRO-SOUTH BEND! We (South Bend Common Council) need to have a plan in place to <br />make sure the residual dollars flow into South Bend from this tech park, and giving tax <br />abatement does not foster that particular growth. A tax abatement will continue to <br />encourage companies and outsiders not to pay their way unlike the residents that we <br />serve. A good question to ask... Are people from SOUTH BEND, such as skilled laborers <br />and local minority contractors, going to have a hand in working to build this beautiful <br />addition to Notre Dame's campus? Another question to ask... What happens to our <br />downtown growth and downtown businesses? I understand this project will happen in <br />South Bend's city limits but what happens to South Bend's core? This project <br />encompasses Eddy Street Commons and Nano-technology and we as residents of South <br />Bend are hoping that this project works within the next 15 years. Many of us may not be <br />here to see it what happens in 15 years if it ever happens. What is South Bend's plan to <br />increase revenue stream into this city without looking forward to the next great project <br />that comes thru Notre Dame? What is South Bend's next great project and when was the <br />last one? <br /> <br />I hope that we as a council look at these tax abatement thoroughly before we continue to <br />mortgage our children's future away. I hope all goes well with you and look forward to <br />seeing everyone next week. I am so hyped up about the DNC so I can join in on the chant <br />of "YES WE CAN!!!" God Bless! <br /> <br /> <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Council either in favor of or in <br />opposition to these Resolutions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dieter made a motion to adopt Bill No. 08-78. Councilmember <br />LaFountain seconded the motion which carried and the Resolution was adopted by a roll <br />call vote of eight (8) ayes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dieter made a motion to adopt Bill No. 08-79.
