Established in 1987, the West Washington-Chapin Development Area consists of approximately two hundred acres and extends west from the South Bend Central Development Area.  The area has a mixture of residential, commercial and both light and heavy industrial land uses.  The city's first National Historic Register District is also within the area.  The city's main goals in the West Washington-Chapin Development Area are to promote commercial and industrial development; improve and expand the supply of all housing, especially for low and moderate income families, by rehabilitation and construction on vacant lots; and to promote the welfare, safety and overall improvement of the quality of life within the neighborhood.  These goals are being achieved with the help of public/private partnerships.
