PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for the reuse of the former Studebaker Administration Building as
an office space for a technology company, and former Vandalia Station, as a regional
early childhood learning and demonstration center. The project will rehabilitate and
reuse 161,132 SF and enhance a complex that will serve as an economic magnet similar
in relative scope tot he American Tobacco Factory in Durham, NC.
The project will remove the most highly visible barrier for development in South Bend's
Innovation District by completing the restoration of the Studebaker Factory Building 84
faade and immediately catalyzing $18.8MM of private investment in the Innovation
District. The project will also accelerate the redevelopment efforts of Studebaker 84 and
enhance a complex that will serve as an economic magnet similar in relative scope to
the American Tobacco Factory in Durham, NC.
The Trustees of Indiana University (on behalf of Indiana University South Bend), IU South
Bend requests grant support from the Regional Cities Fund to fund start-up construction
costs for the expansion of graduate health science programs to be based at the IUSB
Elkhart Center, as well as a new Health Education Active Learning Laboratory (HEALL, or
nursing simulation lab).
The project will create a cluster of advanced manufacturing and technology companies
and an education center that provides services, including professional grade 3D
Printing, modeling, and tech programming, to assist businesses throughout the Midwest.
Will work with universities to provide internship opportunities for students in technical
programs as well as provide classrooms, demonstration areas, and a large lecture area.
The project will provide an exhibit center, innovative space for students, and

curriculum in all public and private K-12 schools in Elkhart, Marshall, and St. Joseph
Counties. Project Lead the Way provides STEM curriculum for the practical study of
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math in grades K-12, incorporating hands-on
learning, group work, problem solving, and collaboration.

A. ETHOS Science Center, a not for profit established in 2001, offers a wide variety of
hands-on STEM programming for both students and teachers. At present, programming
is offered from a rented facility in Elkhart whose configuration does not allow for full
implementation of ETHOS programming. Bayer Healthcare has agreed to the gifting of
their remaining facility to the ETHOS Science Center. This facility will require some
renovations to render it suitable for ETHOS including the building of a new robotics and
innovation center that will be a core program for the new facility. This project will allow
a tremendous opportunity for growth and the introduction of the new innovation center
that will allow students to explore a variety of STEM experiences.
B. ETHOS also has started a robotics center in St. Joseph County that would like to
expand into an innovation center and based on the format and success of the Elkhart
County Program ETHOS would be interested in seeking additional RCI funds in future
cycles for that opportunity.

Expansion of St. Joe Valley Metronet's dark fiber optic network from St. Joseph County to
Elkhart County. The expansion would directly connect to the existing network in a loop
design to provide redundancy and connectivity between counties.
St. Joe Valley Metronet's network currently runs from South Bend to - and around Plymouth. This expansion would connect the communities of Donaldson, Culver, Argos,
Bourbon, Bremen. This expansion would also create redundancy that currently does not
exist.
The Marshall County Entrepreneurship Center / Business Incubator is a strategic plan to
establish two centers, one in the City of Plymouth, and one in the Town of Culver. Both
centers will utilize dark fiber as a business advantage with the goals of cultivating the
entrepreneurial spirit and leveraging an educational platform with Indiana universities
and secondary education providers.
Housing starts in Marshall County has been non-existent since the downturn in the
economy. However for the last year, each community has been aggressively planning
and exploring how we can partner with local developers to provide better housing
options and more importantly applying lessons garnered through the regional cities
effort. The improvement of housing in Marshall County is lead by several factors
including discussions with Marshall County employers on the difficulty they face in
recruiting young talent to work and live in these communities. As well, market studies
indicate that rental availability is between 1-2% or simply put there is more demand
than product. Additionally, this product is very tired and the communities need to put
new product into the market.

Indiana University South Bend, and Purdue Universitys South Bend Extension.
Improvements as part of South Bend Blue Ways will include the creation of gathering
places, seating areas, river overlooks, and public art; new trail and plaza surfaces; new
trail routing near the River Walk (former Transpo maintenance garage) development
site; access to the new University of Notre Dame boathouse; removal of physical
barriers (ADA accessibility) and enhanced pedestrian/bicycle connections; decorative
railings; preservation and integration of historic WPA stone walls and elements; and
installation or upgrade of lighting, signage, bike racks, water fountains, and
landscaping. This work, which will create an amenity package for the broader
community, will coordinate with South Bends Riverfront Parks and Trails Master Plan
process currently underway. As part of South Bend Blue Ways, the City of South Bend
will accomplish these placemaking improvements in partnership with the following
adjoining projects:
1) Construction of East Bank Flats, a mixed-use building containing ground floor
commercial space and 12 apartment units,
2) Construction of the Wharf Partners project, a mixed-use project of approximately 24
residential units in two towers with a ground-floor restaurant featuring outdoor seating
overlooking the river at the Colfax Avenue bridge,
3) Development of the Downtown South Bend Hydroelectric Project, a renewable energy
generation facility using new micro-turbine technology, together with associated Seitz
Park upgrades,
4) Construction of River Race Flats, a mixed-use building containing 8,000 square feet of
retail space, 9,000 square feet of office space, and 32 apartment units,
5) Renewal and enhancement of Howard Park, including a new ice skating rink and a
new or renovated community center, South Bend Blue Ways / East Bank Village
Developments
6) Expansion and renovation of the river facing faade of the Emporium building to
include multiple decks and public gathering spaces,
7) Construction of street, sidewalk, and sewer improvements in the Howard Park section
of the East Bank Village, and
8) Redevelopment of a former brownfield, the Transpo maintenance garage site, into
River Walk, a residential development of 43 single-family homes and 41 townhomes.

provide opportunities for everyone to come and be active all year, in South Bend,
Goshen, and the whole region. Apex Climbing's facilities will be amenities for residents
and will support the region's goal of high-performing communities by providing a space
for resident recreation, health management, and tourism attraction.

The Trustees of Indiana University (on behalf of Indiana University South Bend), in
partnership with HealthLinc, Inc., a federally funded provider of community health
clinics in northern Indiana, proposes the renovation and expansion of an 11,250 squarefoot community Health and Wellness Center (IUSB/HL HWC) to be located on the IU
South Bend campus in the River Park
neighborhood of South Bend. The IUSB/HL HWC would expand access to primary
medical and behavioral health services, as well as dental services for a population of
students, faculty, and staff at IU South Bend as well as underserved and disadvantaged
populations in the local community. The IUSB/HL HWC will also provide an expanded
resource for clinical education opportunities for students in medicine, nursing, dentistry,
dental hygiene, radiography, and clinical laboratory sciences. Mission statement: The
Indiana University South Bend/HealthLinc Health and Wellness Center engages citizens
to build healthy communities in north central Indiana by providing respectful, high
quality, integrative primary healthcare, and holistic health and wellness services to the
community. The Health and Wellness Center aims to: 1) Promote healthy lifestyles for
the community and IUSB; 2) Provide cost effective convenient healthcare services to the
students, faculty, and staff of IUSB, and persons living in the community, regardless of
their ability to pay; 3) Provide respectful healthcare services that are sensitive to the
community's diversity; 4) Foster diversity in knowledge and experience among IUSB and
the community; 5) Provide support to health science students, faculty and staff in the
areas of teaching, learning, and research. The expansion of the IUSB/HL HWC on the
campus will provide a greater resource that would lead to improved health care
education and training for a growing regional health work force, as well as improved
health and dental care for citizens in the communities served by well-educated and
clinically trained physicians, nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, radiography and clinical
lab technicians. Ultimately, this project helps the region to develop its leading growth
industry, healthcare, while improving health outcomes, thereby lowering the per-patient
cost of medical care borne by individuals and the state.
The Marshall County Wellness and Life Enrichment Center includes construction of two
facilities. The first is a ten lane competition swimming pool, complete with day care
facilities, educational classrooms, and concessions. The second is an indoor / outdoor
soccer complex with two indoor turf arenas and a general purpose turf area aiding
indoor practice for football, baseball and other sports during inclement weather. The
soccer facility will also have two outdoor soccer fields to accommodate competitive
matches and tournaments.

This will complete all Federal Transit Administration project development requirements
to qualify for a Core Capacity Grant. The project will double track the South Shore
enabling faster and higher frequency service between South Bend and Chicago
Complete the installation of modern weight tensioned catenary. This is final phase of a
multi-year project to modernize our overhead power distribution system. Failure of the
overhead wire is the leading cause of lengthy train delays. Improving reliability is a
precursor to increasing train frequency and reducing travel time.
The Marshall County Infrastructure Development Project includes the development of a
water and sanitary sewer trunk line, electric distribution system improvements, and
roadway construction. These infrastructure improvements will contribute to industrial
development and attraction. The project will prepare several Greenfield sites for new
development with increased utility capacities and access, which will result in more
businesses expanding to Marshall County. Infrastructure improvements are proposed for
six (6) jurisdictions.
The Marshall County Manufacturing Shell Buildings project will attract new business and
industry, and fill the void in the market place for "move in" ready buildings. Such
buildings will adequately meet the needs of business and industry, and allow Marshall
County to respond to more leads and be more competitive in attraction projects. The
project includes the construction of 4 shell buildings.

Our current facility is operating beyond capacity and is bursting at the seams. Originally
built as a restaurant in 1940, the aging building has become grossly energy inefficient
and prone to significant maintenance issues. Due to the size constraints, we are unable
to serve children ages 5-7. The lack of program space has meant we are unable to offer
some of the most effective and cutting-edge youth development programs. To address
our community needs and to make the Club much more efficient, we intend to tear
down the dilapidated old restaurant building. The new Clubhouse will be dedicated to
innovative new programming and will be energy and resource efficient. The one floor
building will provide safe, attractive, supervised and accessible spaces for youth. The
Boys & Girls Club program space will be designed to provide youth in our community
with age-appropriate youth development programming that is aimed at helping today's
youth to develop their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
Multi tenant, mixed use development with integrated center. The property is located
near three of the growing downtown South Bend neighborhoods, and will offer a full
service grocery, pharmacy, residential, retail, and office.
